Hermitage, La Chapelle--Vintage 1997
Rhône, Jaboulet
Parcel: lots 567-568
"The 1997 Hermitage La Chapelle competes with the monumental wines made in 1990, 1978, and 1961. The harvest was completed on October 14, with some cuvées achieving 14.5 natural alcohol (the alcohol level in the final blend is 13.5. The wine looks impressive, with a viscosity and unctous richness. There is amazing fat and chewiness, as well as spectacular aromatics of overripe black currants and blackberries intermingled with barbecue spices, soy, and jammy black fruits. The tannin seems lost in the wine's full-bodied, silky-textured, voluptuously rich, staggeringly concentrated style. The midpalate explodes with sweetness, glycerin, and extract. The finish lasts for 40+ seconds...." Robert Parker, Wine Buyer's Guide, Fifth Edition
