Hermitage, La Chapelle--Vintage 1978
Rhône, Jaboulet
Levels: two 3cm and one 5cm; slightly depressed cork
Opaque plum/garnet-colored, with a fabulously sweet, youthful bouquet of licorice, incense, smoked meats, pepper, and blackberry/cassis fruit, the full-bodied 1978 La Chapelle is extremely young with astonishing vigor, velvety tannin, and a full-bodied, multi-dimensional, layered personality. The finish lasts for over 60 seconds. Remarkably fresh and not yet fully mature, the super-concentrated 1978 should continue to age well for another three decades. Anticipated maturity: now-2030, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #129 (Jun 2000)
