Domaine de la Chapelle Hermitage La Chapelle 2021
Domaine de la Chapelle Hermitage La Chapelle 2021AC 0037854 (XD) 14% Alc./Vol. 1500 mL $1,010.00 TASTING NOTE : Floral and fragrant on the nose, so beautifully expressive and inviting. Clean and clear, so smooth and seductive with strawberry, cherry and raspberry with soft florality and a tight, wet stone, slate edge giving an iron and mineral tang. Hints of blood orange - bitter zest - with clove and wood spice, pepper tobacco and liquorice too. Fun and friendly, packed full of flavour with lovely, well-integrated tannins, barely there, all the flavour and concentration is coming from the fruit. Not the most expansive or rich, this is lighter and more delicate despite the overall sense of heat and spice and fruit. Long finish, with clear terroir markers. Well defined with a sense of refinement. 3.74pH. Ageing for 12 months in French oak barrels (15% new), and in natural concrete eggs with malolactic fermentation. The first time this historic wine by Caroline Frey will be sold on the Place de Bordeaux. Drinking window: 2025-2035. Score - 96. (Georgina Hindle, decanter.com, July 31, 2023)

Paul Jaboulet Aîné Hermitage La Chapelle 2006
Paul Jaboulet Aîné Hermitage La Chapelle 2006AC 0037855 (XD) 14% Alc./Vol. 750 mL $382.00 TASTING NOTE : From an underrated vintage in the Rhône, the 2006 Hermitage La Chapelle is a beautiful, supple, layered wine that checks in behind the all-time greats yet unquestionably matches or surpasses most of the later 1990 and early 2000 vintages. Revealing a translucent ruby hue as well as a classic La Chapelle nose of smoked darker fruits, roasted meats, ground pepper, soy, and some classic Hermitage leather and obvious minerality, it's medium to full-bodied, round, wonderfully textured, and balanced. It's fully mature today, and certainly won't be getting any better, but it has another 10-15 years of longevity. Maturity: 2022-2037. Score - 92. (jebdunnuck.com, June 7, 2022)

Paul Jaboulet Aîné Hermitage La Chapelle 2011
Paul Jaboulet Aîné Hermitage La Chapelle 2011AC 0037856 (XD) 14% Alc./Vol. 750 mL $382.00 TASTING NOTE : A gorgeous intensity of plum, spice and grilled meat on the nose. Cloves and hints of dried spices. This is a big, structured La Chappelle. Full and powerful with chewy tannins and a long, long finish. A bit austere and muscular but gorgeous. Tar, spice, dried meat and asphalt. Needs to be aged for at least another five or six years. This is another 1991 in the making. [Drink: 2020-2040] Score - 97. (jamessuckling.com, Dec. 14, 2014)
