1985 Paul Jaboulet Aine, Hermitage, La Chapelle Rouge 1x750ml

Robert Parker 95

One of the more finesse driven wines in the vertical, the 1985 Hermitage la Chapelle offered beautiful, complex notes of coffee beans, dried meats, potpourri and mint to go with a full-bodied, elegant and seamless feel on the palate. Following on the heels of the monster-sized ’89, it still stood out for its purity, fine tannin and length on the finish. It’s a beautiful wine drinking at point. [28/09/2017]
