HERMITAGE, LA CHAPELLE 1985 PAUL JABOULET AINE |

Hermitage, La Chapelle 1985 Paul Jaboulet Aîné u. 2x3cm, 2x3.5cm, cellar soiled bottles and capsules, heavily bin-soiled, damp-stained, and deteriorated labels, 1 of which loosely adhered, 2 missing neck labels, 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 956 mags (sc)Estimates are per lot
