Hermitage, La Chapelle 1978

Paul Jaboulet Aîné

Levels into the neck, heavily bin soiled and torn labels, two torn and partially missing neck labels

On New Year's Eve 2020, an explosion of pepper and spice on the nose - total heather on the moors! Immensely complex and many-layered, with full-blown tannic structure, ending with sweetness after decanting time. Forget the fruit now and go for the mature Syrah dimensions and smoky depth.
