Hermitage, La Chapelle--Vintage 1989
Rhône. Domaine-bottled: Paul Jaboulet Aîné
Tasting Notes: Several notes, first in 1991: distinctive nose and taste; rich, tannic. Next, 1998, at the Hollywood Wine Society's Jaboulet seminar: fine, deep; low keyed but crisp fruit, harmonious; very sweet (the sweetest in the range), excellent flavour, complete and tannic. More recently, in magnums: still fairly intense but maturing; gorgeous outpouring of bouquet; warm, rich - yet still struggling to harmonise, so much going on. Fairly sweet, full-flavoured, very good fruit, excellent tannin and acidity. April 20000 ***** M.B.
