  December 25, 2023 - From magnum, opened a couple hours beforehand without decant.
  
  Beautiful nose, deep and full of fruit hinting at the darker stuff within. Very well-balanced and not monstrously complex but has both sides on the coin: pure fruit vs savory secondary elements.
  
  Very nice. Curious to see how the remnant of this bottle plays in a few days.

  October 2, 2022 - 92 points - Decanted for 3 hours and enjoyed with a NY strip. Cassis and pencil lead. Very nicely balanced at this point between fruit and earth-tones. Hard to say if this is at its peak but it doesn’t seem far off

  January 9, 2022 - Really needs time to open up but worth the wait!
  Opened 1 1/2 hrs before drinking. Starts a little muted with deep black fruits, some forest floor, & raspberry. Over the next couple of hours really blossomed. A little chocolate, plum, black raspberry.

  January 3, 2022 - W whole duck - maybe it was the meal but this was nice but not expected from Chappellet with 10 yra on it. Bit flat in many respects.
