This second bottle is better than the one I had nearly 3 years ago. The yellow fruit is more subdued so the acidity and minerality is starting to come through. A touch of honey consistent with age, but again no premox

As others have observed, this Chapelle has abundant fruit and spice, but is lacking the minerality and acidity to counterbalance that fruit. It is good, but maybe will be more interesting with age. No signs of premox.

Sappy yellow fruits. Peach, citrus pith and cream, with a hint of vanilla. I get a hint of minerals here, with a medium finish. Overall, this is quite good, but still not delivering what it should for the price.

Agree with StainedGlass' note. This is more in balance than a couple years ago, though still very ripe fruit-driven.

WANTED to like it more than I did. Just fine but neither the voluptuousness nor the acidity to be really exciting
