(Paul Jaboulet Hermitage "La Chapelle") Tight, funky and unyielding at first but with 45 minutes this turned into a silky, sexy wine with an amazing pillowy mouthfeel and olive tapenade and dark berry fruit flavors and an outrageously long finish. Truly a great and overlooked La Chapelle.

Sunday Northern Rhône Survey (San Francisco): Ruby center with gentle fading. Very ripe fruit and a whiff of green. Lush medium to full body, oaky base. Strong, lively mixed fruit, spice, and ground coffee. Impressive volume, concentration, and staying power, but less finesse than I’d like from a 32 year old Syrah.

Very expressive nose of rich dark fruit, grilled meats, spices and smoke. Big and plush on the palate.

Smoke and brett kissed black fruit in the nose, this is a fairly simple and “modern” presentation, with its direct fruitiness, lush and juicy, clean and sweet. Shows well, but in a 14 vintage vertical tasting, can’t quite stand out with the top 7 wines, just not enough complexity.

Ex chateau release.
Superb and stunning and for the lovers of well aged Hermitage this is of great value vs other vintages and its peers. The nose is a stunning explosion of smoky, bacon, dark fruit and soft spice combo. Surprisingly a lot of fruit still and this would easily age for another 10 years and rival the greats. Superb 94-95
