Lot Details

Description

Hermitage, La Chapelle 1991

Paul Jaboulet Aîné

Good levels, excellent appearance, authentication tag over capsule, tissue wrapped, banded until inspection

Totally thick and black, just showing the beginnings of maturity at the rim. Marvellous, almost "Burgundian" rich nose, like deep layered vegetation. Superb projection. Cinnamon toast. Pure liquorice on the palate. Lovely richness, with drier tannins underpinning. Roasted aspects. Rich plums. Great wine in a very one-off genre. Black liquorice and leather finish. Another bottle, at 17 years old, was all smoky cassis on the nose, with a great blackcurrant and liquorice taste. Sumptuous stuff and more concentration than the 1990. Rich black cherries. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
