Worth buying? 2015 La Chapelle de La Mission Haut-Brion

[Neal.Mollen]

The problem I pointed out with the '12 Chapelle wasn’t what it lacked; it was what it had in excess, which was pretty much everything. It was not a lesser imitation of the grand vin; it was Monbousquet. Maybe a lesser version of Monbousquet. Alcohol, wood, heat, jammy fruit . . . just a clownish wine.

My experience with the '15.

I think we may have made history here. The first ever (?) Berserkers thread that actually saved someone money?!?*

Thank you to everyone who has chimed-in with their experiences.


* of course, I’m still likely to spend the money, just on some other wines!
