01 la Chapelle with ratatouille on a rainy night in napa. Good livin. The 2001 is very pretty. Not the most complex of the la chapelle's but very floral

La Chapelle in all its splendor. Spices, fig paste , reglisse zan, cedar. It's an oriental spice shop. Still needs five years on to fully delivers .
