Paul Jaboulet Aine Hermitage La Chapelle 1978 Hermitage Rhone – Red 750ml/Btl 12/case

Description

Jeb Dunnuck: As heavenly and profound as it gets, the still
youthful-colored 1978 Hermitage la Chapelle exhibits an insane
bouquet of sweet cassis, truffle, smoked meats and licorice.
Full-bodied, multidimensional, decadent and massive on the palate,
with a stacked mid-palate and still present, sweet tannin, it
tastes like a mix of the more fruit-loaded '90 and the more
evolved, smoky and soy-laced '61. You could easily run out of
adjectives describing this beauty, but it's a perfect wine any way
you look at it. I see no reason to hold off, and it's drinking
perfectly for my palate today, but it certainly won't fall off a
cliff anytime soon.
