HERMITAGE, LA CHAPELLE 1982 PAUL JABOULET AINE |

Hermitage, La Chapelle 1982 Paul Jaboulet Aîné u.2x3.5cm, labels slightly soiled, 1 partially torn & missing, neck labels 2 torn and missing, 1 torn and heavily scuffed, 4 slightly sunken corks, good color and clarityIn 2011, wonderfully scented with sheer mature fruit perfume. Red fruit, roses and violets. On the palate, lovely, delicious fruit, underpinned by rich, vegetal flavours. A magnificent La Chapelle for now. It has a lovely acidity 'lift' at the end and simply melts in the mouth. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 925 bts (cn)Estimates are per lot
