Hermitage, La Chapelle 1967

Paul Jaboulet Aîné

u. 3.5cm, label and neck label damp stained

Mature but deep colour. Majestic bouquet of utter complexity. Nose of a pot pourri of flowers. Deep dried apricots. Riveting mocha and raisins. Incredible taste of currants, dried apricots, tar and cassis. Great wine. So seamless all through. Extraordinary layers of fruit. The fruit profile is so young. It leaps out of the glass at you and lasts so long in the mouth. Still great black fruit and yet with maximum aromatic complexity. Startling. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
