HERMITAGE, LA CHAPELLE 1985 PAUL JABOULET AINE |

Hermitage, La Chapelle 1985 Paul Jaboulet Aîné u. 1x3cm, 1x3.5cm, labels heavily soiled, fragile, 10 heavily damaged, 2 loose labels, 7 neck labels peeling, soiled and damaged, 4 loose with remnants of neck labels, sunken corks, 1 corroded capsuleVery 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 9512 bts (cn)Estimates are per lot
