Hermitage, La Chapelle--Vintage 1978
Rhône. Domaine-bottled: Paul Jaboulet Aîné
Four very slightly damaged capsules. Glue-stained shoulder labels. Slightly bin-soiled labels, two slightly glue-stained. Excellent levels- 1.5cms or better below base of capsule
Tasting note: Most recently ruby-shaded, lovely bouquet, sweetish, soft, perfect balance. Last noted March 2001. ***** M.B.
Tasting note: 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, June 2000
