Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, December 19, 2023 - This has to be one of my wines of the year, which shows you how easily it was wine of the night on the night. An absolutely incredible bottle of Paul Jaboulet Aîné’s Hermitage ‘La Chapelle’ from 1982 - the type of bottle you hope to never see the bottom of. The nose was everything I love about the Northern Rhône as pepper, baking spices, and a hint of cinnamon worked across blackcurrants and a rustic cigar box scent. The palate had lot of power left as redcurrants and cranberries medlied across a tertiary mid-palate of cedar wood, spices and herbs, continuing into a finish that brought in earthiness, mushrooms and a hint of truffle. A rustically elegant wine that was a joy to drink on the night.
