Hermitage, La Chapelle 1978 

Paul Jaboulet Aîné 

Levels into the neck, bin-soiled labels, 1 slightly torn label, scuffed and slightly corroded capsules

On New Year's Eve 2020, an explosion of pepper and spice on the nose - total heather on the moors! Immensely complex and many-layered, with full-blown tannic structure, ending with sweetness after decanting time. Forget the fruit now and go for the mature Syrah dimensions and smoky depth.
