LA CHAPELLE OF THE FABULOUS 1990 VINTAGE
Lying in Stevenage, Hertfordshire
Hermitage, La Chapelle--Vintage 1990
Rhône. Domaine-bottled: Paul Jaboulet Aîné
Several notes. In 1996: opaque, intense; muffled, figgy, touch of malt; sweet, full, hefty - high marks for power. Next, at a Syrah tasting in Singapore (1998): more homogenous bouquet, very distinctive flavour, touch of raw tannin. Shortly, after: magnificent, complete, sweet, full (alcohol 13.9 delicious, at the Jaboulet seminar in Florida. Most recently: still impressively deep, delicious flavour and crisp fruit. Last noted at Christie's millennium pre-sale tasting, New York, May 1999. *****. M.B.
