Paul Jaboulet Aîné La Chapelle Hermitage 2020
- 750 ml bottle
Product details
At first this feels like you're standing in front of a set of locked gates. Huge power and structure without that much weight, thanks to the wonderful freshness that's intertwined with the tarry depths of this Hermitage masterpiece. As it aerates smoked bacon, menthol and licorice notes develop, but I'd need much more space to give you all the aromas! The huge tannins at the finish are finely chiseled, suggesting this has decades of life ahead of it. From 40 to 100-year-old syrah vines. From biodynamically grown grapes. Score - 96-97.
