Hermitage, La Chapelle--Vintage 1982
Rhône. Domaine-bottled: Paul Jaboulet Aîné
Some slightly bin-soiled labels. Levels 3.5cms below base of corks or better
Tasting Note: The 1982 is a wonderful surprise. It has always been delicious It has put on weight yet retains its exotic, over-the-top style. Fully mature, but capable of lasting another decade or more, the 1982 La Chapelle possesses a dark garnet colour with an amber edge. The glorious nose of Asian spices, roasted espresso, creamy cassis fruit, and hints of Peking duck lathered with hoisin sauce gives this wine, with its notes of prunes, plums, and cassis, an exotic yet compelling allure. Among all the vintages of the eighties and nineties, the 1982 is my favourite for current drinking. Sumptuous and full-bodied, with a creamy texture and sweet tannin, it is a dazzling La Chapelle for consuming over the next decade. 92 Points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 129, June 2000.
