Details
Hermitage, La Chapelle--Vintage 2003
Rhône. Paul Jaboulet Aîné
Tasting note: The finest example of this cuvée since 1990, the 2003 Hermitage La Chapelle (50,000 bottles rather than the normal 96,000+ were produced) possesses an inky/purple colour as well as a tremendous bouquet of crème de cassis, crushed flowers, truffles, and liquorice. Full-bodied and powerful (15 natural alcohol) with good freshness and definition, this big, rich, dense, reassuringly great La Chapelle should be cellared for 5-8 years, and drunk over the following 20-25.
