Hermitage, La Chapelle 1979 Paul Jaboulet Aîné
u. 3bn, heavily bin-soiled label

Deep and mature. Lovely, spicy, elegant scent. A touch of cocoa to go with the fruit, which is so fresh inspite of the drought in this vintage. Quite 'sharp'. Lots of fruity attack. Red fruit rather than black. Not as 'thick' as the great years, but a very nice, elegant profile. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 90
