Jeb Dunnuck: 90 Points
"The second wine of this notable estate is the 2016 Chapelle de Labrie, which has a medium-bodied, elegant, lightly textured profile to go with notes of black currants, spicy oak, and dried flowers. It's polished, beautifully balanced, and a joy to drink. "

"The 2016 Chapelle de Labrie has a generous, pure bouquet of lush red cherry and strawberry fruit, though unlike some of its peers, there is focus and impressive delineation here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin, a smooth texture and a lightly spices, quite persistent, truffle-tinged finish. Excellent. "

"This is very fine-grained with such beauty and finesse. It seduces you with its polished and lovely fruit. Medium body. Wonderful length. Better after 2023, but already a joy to taste."
Paolo Basso: 92 Points
"Nice note of smoke, bay leaf, aromatic herbs, black tea, cinnamon. Nice aromatic. Powerful and dense with a good depth, body, acidity which brings balance although the heat dominates a little, firm tannins and beautiful structure, lingering finish and intense with flavors. An excellent wine of power and elegance. "
