2006 Hermitage La Chapelle, Paul Jaboulet Aîné

2006 Hermitage La Chapelle, Paul Jaboulet Aîné

This has beautiful aromatics, with notes of pot pourri, dried leaves and a deep core of prune and dried cherries. The palate is soft and silky, with spice and salinity on the finish. Drinking brilliantly now.

Tasting notes

The first vintage where the new team was firmly in place, the 2006 Hermitage la Chapelle offers that classic, smoky, meaty La Chapelle bouquet to go with loads of fruits, medium to full-bodied richness, impressive mid-palate density and sweet tannin. This was easily the best showing I’ve had from this bottle, which often shows a much more rustic, evolved character.
