Better than I expected. Really good… paired with Akaushi Terres Major in a kimchi glaze and miso butter grilled vegetables. Excellent throughout the hour of drinking it.

Jammy to start, but settled down after a couple hours open, at which point I got that distinctive syrah note on the nose and some pepper on the palate. Probably not a re-buy, but a good pairing with BBQ.

An interesting blend that works well. Nice value for a Chappellet wine - fun to share with friends. Heavy dark fruit and big mouthfeel. Bold flavors without harsh tannins or acidity. Drinking very nicely now. Would be good with a big dinner, and just fine on its own.

Very smooth, straight out of the bottle. Drank over three hours. Solid as a rock. Nice notes of pepper. Just a gem!
