Details
Hermitage, La Chapelle--Vintage 1979
Rhône, Jaboulet
Lot 197 levels: 2.5cm or better. Lot 198 levels: 2.5cm. Lot 199 levels: 2.5cm; three missing labels. Lot 200 levels: eleven 2.5cm and one 3.5. All lots have bin-soiled labels
"This brilliant dark ruby/purple-colored 1979 still retains a youthful vigor. Spicy, with plenty of smoke, dried herb, pepper, and cassis fruit, this outstanding, smoky, gamy (smoked meats galore), full-bodied La Chapelle reveals some angularity and rough tannin in the finish, but all other signs are positive. While it does not possess the weight of the biggest, most muscular vintages of La Chapelle, it is an exciting wine." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, Issue 129, 6/00
