Hermitage, La Chapelle--Vintage 1996
Rhône. Domaine-bottled: Paul Jaboulet Aîné
Tasting note: The saturated black/purple-colored 1996 exhibits a broodingly backward nose of minerals, cassis, and spices. Full-bodied, with sweet tannin, black fruits galore, admirable structure, and considerable complexity, this backward, thick La Chapelle possesses good acidity... and a style reminiscent of a brawny, tannic 1983 and powerful, backward, unevolved yet immensely promising 1989. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2030. Robert Parker, The Wine Buyer's Guide. 5th Edition, 2000
