HERMITAGE, LA CHAPELLE 1985 PAUL JABOULET AINE |

Hermitage, La Chapelle 1985 Paul Jaboulet Aîné u. 1x3cm, 3x3.5cm, cellar soiled bottles, labels, and capsules, wine-stained, scuffed, and torn labels, slightly scuffed capsules, 1 of which slightly corroded, 1 of which wine-stained, excellent color and clarityVery good crimson colour, just maturing and shading off at the rim. Wonderfully rich 'Burgundian' bouquet of wet earth and vegetation. Very liquorice and 'rubber' taste - rich and 'vegetal', in the good sense! Mocha notes. Very curranty at the end. Coffee tannins. I love drinking this now. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 954 mags (sc)Estimates are per lot
