Hermitage, La Chapelle 1972

Paul Jaboulet Aîné

u. 1x1.5cm, 1x2.5cm, 1x3cm, 1x4cm, 2x5cm, from different importers, labels bin-soiled and 2 slightly scuffed, corroded capsules, slightly sunken corks with signs of old seepage

There are massive "legs" on the three vintages 1972, 1971 and 1970. The wine falls slowly down the glass leaving a trail like a snail, a sure sign of glycerol and "fat". A bouquet of glorious chocolate and iron. . Smoky blackcurrants. Tremendous, almost sweet scent. Smells like a great, much older wine from the Côte de Nuits. Vanilla pods and cinnamon sticks. Russian leather. Huge tannin and acidity. Great vegetal richness with a chocolate and coffee aftertaste and smoky fruit. A real pleasure to drink now and a wine that is very "together". Serena Sutcliffe, MW

1972、1971和1970這三個年份都有非常厚的「掛杯」情況。酒液沿著杯壁緩慢滑落，留下道道蝸牛爬過般的痕跡，暗示此酒甘油度高，肥碩滑膩。洋溢巧克力、生鐵和煙燻黑加崙子氣息。令人迷醉，幾乎帶甜香。聞起來有如夜丘區（Côte de Nuits）的陳年瑰釀。帶香子蘭豆莢、肉桂枝和俄羅斯皮革香。丹寧突出，酸度強勁。充滿植物草青味，悠悠巧克力和咖啡餘韻，夾雜煙燻水果味。渾然融和，現時已非常適合飲用。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
