  • 1978 Paul Jaboulet Aîné Hermitage La Chapelle 94 Points

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Hermitage

    to-die-for nose of forest, rose petals, tar and liquorice. i'd give it 98 for the nose alone. sadly the palate was unlike any other 78 la chapelle i've had. weak, fading and thin. guess just bad luck with the bottle.

  • 1978 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape 96 Points

    France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape

    decanted half an hour before serving. great from the word go. no signs of fading even after a couple of hours. alluring perfume coupled with great structure. a winner!

  • 1978 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage 92 Points

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Hermitage

    notorious for its bottle variation, this again was not as good as it should be. decanted half an hour before serving. quite smoky to start with. roasted coffee beans. after an hour or so notes of dried herbs, tea leaves became a little overwhelming.
