A beautiful, soft, richly fruity wine with silky tannins, loads of blue fruits, and hints of smoky barbecue and graphite, the 2000 La Chapelle de La Mission is fleshy, evolved, and complex, a top-notch success that gets a slight upgrade from my original review. Drink it over the next 5-10 years. Score: 90 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2010-2020 01 June 2010 |

The 2000 La Chapelle de la Mission is surprisingly fat, juicy, and succulent, offering notes of roasted herbs, tobacco, black cherry and cassis fruit, scorched earth, and asphalt. This luscious second wine can be drunk now and over the next 12-15 years. Score: 89 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2003-2018 30 April 2003 |

Tight and solid, with tobacco, berry, chocolate and vanilla throughout. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a delicious finish. Best after 2008. Score: 90 James Suckling, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2008+ 31 March 2003 |
