  After 2 hours of decanting, and this bad boy was amazing!

  This is what an excellent mature Napa Cabernet is all about. Cork so perfect it looks like 3 years old not 20. Medium color. Beautiful mouth feel. Dark chocolate and plum? nose. Earth and leathery on the palate. Nice spice laced finish with good length. Last bottle of this in my cellar but what a beauty.

  Decanted 5 hours. Drank in the 5-7 hour range. Very nice. Softer than the other wines we drank that night, but I'd put it in the elegant category. To me this is a wine to enjoy more among 2-3 people than a dinner party with 10 wines. Looking forward to my 04 and 07 magnums. Has time left, but I'd recommend drinking soon.

  Never had a Chappellett Pritchard Hill before. Bought a six pack at Zachys auction. Was a little leery due to 20 years of age. Because of that I got a great deal so I risked it and took the plunge. I won this gamble. One of the best bottles I’ve had all year. Fruit starting to fade a bit but still a nose of dark berries and mocha. Silky smoothed tannins. Prevalent leather, forest floor and lead on the palate. Nothing short of spectacular. You don’t see much of this around anymore for obvious reasons but if I can find a few more I’ll grab them after trying this. Still has life.
