12’ Chappellet Pritchard Hill Cabernet. First thing you notice is that deep purple color(syrup)
Full bodied & tight out the bottle. We decanted it for an hour and put it back in the bottle. Brought it to dinner. Just starting to come alive at this point.
Blackberry & blueberry fruits, cassis, licorice, sage. Elegance & finessed ... long finish. Hands-down the best I’ve had from this producer. Need to try the 2010 & 14 next.

Let the race begin! This is the Daytona 500 in a glass. Given to me as a gift from Jon-Marc Chappellet

A big powerhouse, but still exhibits a nice balance in its own way. Cherries, dark fruits, tar, dust, minerals. . A touch of cedar. Tannins are still rather big. I’d give it 3+ years, but getting close.

In it's larval stages. Perhaps a future butterfly but sleeping right now. Sound and hearty but very shut down to me.

2012, graphite and dark fruit, sleek and polished. Always a great value for a well aging bottle of Prichard Hill
