Paul Jaboulet-Aîné : La Chapelle 2015

Wine Advocate-Parker :
The 2015 Hermitage La Chapelle is one of the estateâÇÖs finest recent efforts. ItâÇÖs packed with firm tannins and will need to be lost in the cellar for a decade, but it will reward those with patience. Richly concentrated and full-bodied, it hits all the expected notesâÇöcassis, black olive, smoke, crushed stone, pencil shavings and espressoâÇöthen finishes long, with an aristocratic sense of reserve and austerity. Winemaker Jacques Devernois compares it to a womanâÇÖs black dress, meaning it speaks of elegance and class.
