Description
Hermitage, La Chapelle 1961 Paul Jaboulet Aîné
Heavily stained, scuffed, soiled label, adhered to bottle with adhesive tape, excellent level, color and clarity
The colour is barely touched by age. A great bouquet of smoky violets and smoked reindeer meat. The extraordinary richness on the palate is astonishing. Sheer, rich coffee. Unparalleled glycerol. Rich leather, black winegums and liquorice. A masterpiece of gigantic proportions. A later bottle had an incredible nose of damp forests and a deep, violet and iron taste. Gloriously sweet and ripe. Drunk recently with Pétrus '61 and Latour '61 and, for some, it was the winner! One can understand why. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
