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

  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.
