(aus der Magnum) Noch immer dunkles Rubin, man sieht diesem Wein das Alter definitiv nicht an. Offene Nase, Anfangs ein Hauch von Gummireifen, dazu deutlich Pfeffer, Leder, Schwarztee, Mokka, dahinter viel dunkle Frucht, Schwarzkirschen, auch Mentol, ein Hauch von Pilzen, super komplex. Im Gaumen auf den Punkt gereift, die Gerbstoffe sind weitgehend abgeschmolzen, eine gute Säure verleiht Frische. Im Abgang sehr lang, würzig, mit Rückaromen auf Schwarzkirschen und Pfeffer. Ausgezeichnet.

Robe peu évoluée.Bouquet typique de lard fumé,d'olives noires,defruits noirs (mûre,myrtille),d'épices (thym,laurier) d'une très belle intensité.Bouche magnifique,tanins complètement fondus,c'est soyeux et le palais ne connait aucune lassitude tellement c'est juteux et plaisant.Finale convaincante également.Clairement supérieur au 88 gouté en 11/2023.Reste que selon les échos le 90 serait supérieur.Il faut profiter clairement de ces millésimes magnifiques car après le décès de Gérard Jaboulet en 97 je crois le cru a perdu vraiment son statut de parangon de l'appellation et encore sur les récents millésimes on est loin d'avoir retrouvé la magie dantan.

Deep brick red.
Aromas of cherry, cassis, hawthorn, chocolate, charcuterie, wet soil and autumn leaf.
Coarsely grained lively tannins. Blackcurrant acids and dark chocolate bitterness.
Palate of blackcurrant jam, cherry liqueur, juniper wood, tobacco, espresso and grilled steak. Hint of ink.
A mature, powerful yet elegant and utterly complex wine with sun-ripe fruit, bittersweet acidity, lovely chocolatey and smoky aromas and a great mineral finish. Drink within 10-15+ years. Tasted 2024.
Tasted alongside Jaboulet, chapelle, 1985 and the present wine is potent, presents riper and darker fruit and is as great as the matched wine. Bravo.

2023 Athens Wine Event; 12/8/2023-12/9/2023 (Athens, Greece): Tasted blind. Guessed hermitage but off bottle of it past its best.
The nose started exceptional but then tailed off and so did the wine and we feel this is a wine of great variability. We have had this 5 times in the last 15 years and we have not had a good bottle for some time. Back in 2008 and 2010 this was a magical wine but ever since we have had just average experiences and our fair share of bad bottles.
On the day this was shy and not singing some hints of direction but not really the level it should be. One should definitely be careful with bottle provenance and maybe stick to recently released ex chateau bottles only. 92 at best

Real different take for me with 5 more years of tasting experience. This particular bottle was youthful beyond belief, from a still largely purple color to its still firm tannin. Black peppercorn and blackberry confit. The knock on this wine is as is often the case with Janoulet. It’s a bit monochromatic.
