Absolutely delicious! Finally opened our 3L double magnum for Thanksgiving, and it was in a wonderful place. Beautiful nose, smooth integrated tannins with all the classic mature Napa Cab qualities, and a nice long finish. A truly wonderful wine that helped make a memorable Thanksgiving gathering for the entire extended family.

I paid $47 for this, and the 2021 is going for $100. Back in the day, part of this wine's appeal was its QPR. These days - not so much. Along with Sequoia Grove, Chappellet cabernets have been among the very few affordable Napa cabernets that really don't show their stuff until they've spent a few years in the bottle. This one was better than a bottle six months ago, which was better than a bottle last year. I wouldn't be shocked if it continues to improve with still more age.
This was excellent. Drank in a party setting so very basic notes - very sweet and ripe not showing much age but drinking really well with pretty resolved tannins. Currant and black plum fruit.

W flank steak vietnamese style. Not best combo but very good wine (the tempranillo we had earlier was better). Nice dark color great nose and nice medium weight length. Good wine.

Consistent with a bottle five months ago. Holding up just fine.
