So this was my first purchase from Last Bottle, and I’m hooked. $100 bottle for $39, seeing is believing!
On the nose:
I’m picking up plum, dark fruit, chocolate, a little clove/licorice.
On the palate:
Dark sweet fruit, cassis, Christmas spice, cedar, finish is long… I keep smacking the roof of my mouth with my tongue, not jammy but love the spice.
Y’all may pick up a few other notes but hope the above helps.
14.7% abv
93% cab
4% petit verdot
3% merlot
I really like this, a lot. Significantly better than their cuvee. Heavier side of medium but not drinking a meal, very enjoyable. A total steal at $39, and a fair value at $100.
Somewhere around 93pts +/-

OP, thank you for the sharing.
I do not know your age, work or where you live. But i really thing your cellar/room setup is really nice and inviting !
Good job.
Last bottle?
I got 6 bottles of this from Last Bottle same mystery deal. Yeah this was a huge score. Fantastic wine, had a bottle of it a few days ago.
Chappellet is still the real deal!
Does this have smoke taint? 2020 was a bad year.
Chappellet is always 🤌
Too young! That bottle should have taken a nap for another 4-5 years.
Great bottle
Thank you! Just downloaded Last Bottle.
Got the deal with everyone saying it was Stags. Was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box.
Wine is secondary here lol, amazing room set up. Love the paint too. Well done 👏👏👏
I dropped Last Bottle a while ago because it seemed the vast majority of their “screaming deals” were not deals…you could find the same bottles on various Wine-Searcher websites for similar prices. But the Chappellet deal was brought to my attention the same day and I quickly grabbed 6 bottles. Signed up again for their daily alerts. I have a feeling maybe there are 2-3 true deals/year via Last Bottle.
I got three! Can’t wait to break into them. Hope the night went beautifully
