One of a few bottles left from a case. Didn't sell when culled through the cellar because wouldn't realize perceived value. Lots of sediment and left vertical for almost a week before opening. When first uncorked the nose out of the bottle was a little funky. After decanting and letting it breath there was still some dark fruit but mostly leather, chocolate and prune. The palate reflected the same notes and there was still a backbone of soft tannins making me think the wines would still be viable for a little while longer. The only weak point was the finish which trailed off rapidly. I do think for the price it is a good introduction to older La Chapelle without having to pay for the '90.
