Slow-oxed for about 2hrs. Perfumed bouquet - typical of an aged burg. A little light at first for a GC but gradually put on more weight after a while. Started singing around the 3.5hr mark. Showing really well for a 33year old Chapelle. Won't get any better than this.

Very intense nose of citrus, stone fruit, honey. Golden yellow in color which worried me a little but the palate was pure class with lots of weight and well balanced acidity. Complex fruit flavours that mirrored the nose. Super finish and definitely one of the best BBMs I've tasted. Their '03 Chevy tasted a week earlier had quite a lot of intensity too but with a more tropical fruit profile. Acidity in the Chevy however was a touch low perhaps due to the vintage.

Beautifully complex nose of chinese mushroom, cigar box, coffee, raspberry, cherry.
Classic old school piemontese grip but not harsh, hint of sweetness even. Offset nicely by exotic spice and elegant red fruit. 14% alc but doesnt feel that way. Acid apparent only in the overall sense of harmony rather than being overtly discernible. In a good place now with tension between fruit and tertiary flavors balanced on a knife-edge. Have a feeling the fruit will slowly fade against the other elements over the next decade. Drink up!

I’ve been looking through your cellar on Cellar Tracker and noticed you have some fantastic wines, including Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg Ruchottes-Chambertin - have you considered joining Antica Terra’s Collective?
We offer hard-to-find wines to exclusive members in our waitlisted membership, curating rare bottles of perfect provenance, for sophisticated buyers, and the enrollment window is about to open to allow for a limited number of new members.
Here’s how it works; as a member, our founder and winemaker, Maggie Harrison, hand selects a bottle for you each month and twice a year you will receive twelve or twenty-four bottles delivered to your door with the option of receiving a selection of sparkling, white, rosé and red wines or a selection of exclusively red wines. A few treasures that were tucked into the founding members’ spring boxes include:
2011 Marguet Pere & Fils 'Sapience' Premier Cru, Extra-Brut, Champagne
2002 Nikolaihof Vinothek Riesling, Wachau
2015 Château de Beaucastel, Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc, Cuvée Roussanne, Vieilles Vignes, Rhône
2018 Comte Armand, Clos des Epeneaux, Monopole, Pommard, Premier Cru
2019 Clos Erasmus Priorat
2010 Giuseppe Quintarelli, Rosso del Bepi, Veneto IGT
Members have direct access to Maggie, the ability to select additional rarities with each shipment, and an exclusive community with a shared quest for rare beauty. We extend exclusive invitations to potential members based on their collection and tastes, and I think you would be a great fit.
If this is of interest to you, shall we set up a time to discuss? Or happy for you to email me directly at daniel@anticaterra.com.
Best,
Daniel (Antica Terra)
