Paul Jaboulet Aine Hermitage La Chapelle 1989 (1.5L) (Bottle #2) NO20231018 From there the spirit goesThe 1989 La Chapelle is a relic of an era when Grard Jaboulet commanded the Hermitage terroir with uncompromising vision. Blended from the great crus of Le Mal, Bessards, and Greffieux, this Syrah displays the textural silk and mineral intensity that collectors have pursued for over three decades. Now entering its prime drinking window, the wine exhibits mature complexity: inky cassis fruit, heathery spice, and black pepper balanced by silky tannins.
