SUPERB RHONE INCLUDING LA CHAPELLE AND LA LANDONNE OF THE LEGENDARY 1978 VINTAGE
Lying in Twickenham, Middlesex (EHD)
Lot 512 is offered duty-paid, but available in bond
Hermitage, La Chapelle--Vintage 1978
Rhône. Domaine-bottled: Paul Jaboulet Aîné
One torn label. Levels 3cms or less below base of corks
Tasting note: So massive that it was given an extra year in cask. First tasted in its third year; opaque, purple; peppery; packed with fruit. Tannic. Next a jump of eleven years: 'perfection now'. Three years later (1995) at MW tasting of Penfolds Grange against La Chapelle: the latter was softer and somewhat overwhelmed by the Australian classic. Next, at the Jaboulet seminar in 1998: now medium-deep, still retaining a hint of youth; very fragrant bouquet; rich, perfect weight and state. Most recently, with boned saddle of lamb: still ruby-shaded; lovely bouquet; sweetish, soft, perfect balance. ***** M.B.
Opaque plum/garnet-coloured, with a fabulously sweet, youthful bouquet of liquorice, incense, smoked meats, pepper, and blackberry/cassis fruit, the full-bodied 1978 La Chapelle is extremely young with astonishing vigor, velvety tannin, and a full-bodied, multi-dimensional, layered personality. The finish lasts for over 60 seconds. Remarkably fresh and not yet fully mature, the super-concentrated 1978 should continue to age well for another three decades. Anticipated maturity: now-2030. 100 Points. Robert Parker. Wine Advocate Issue #129. June 2000
