Hermitage, La Chapelle--Vintage 1990
Rhône. Domaine-bottled: Paul Jaboulet Aîné
Lot 524 in original carton, lot 525 and 526 not in original cartons. Integrated Wine Society import labels. Lot 524 has one damaged capsule. One magnum has signs of seepage and a stained slip label. Lot 525 has lightly bin-soiled labels
Tasting note: The 1990 La Chapelle is the sexy and opulent. I had the 1990 at the Jaboulet tasting, and again out of a double magnum three months ago. On both occasions it was spectacular, clearly meriting a three-digit score. The modern day equivalent of the 1961, it deserves all the attention it has garnered.
The color remains an opaque purple, with only a slight pink at the edge. Spectacular aromatics offer up aromas of incense, smoke, blackberry fruit, cassis, barbecue spice, coffee, and a touch of chocolate. As it sits in the glass, additional nuances of pepper and grilled steak emerge. There is extraordinary freshness for such a mammoth wine in addition to abundant tannin, an amazing 60-second finish, and a level of glycerin and thick, fleshy texture that have to be tasted to be believed.
Despite its youthfulness, the 1990 La Chapelle is lovely to drink, although it will be even better with another 5-6 years of cellaring; it should age for 35-40+ years. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2050 100 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #129, June 2000
