2012 Paul Jaboulet Hermitage La Chapelle

The 2012 Hermitage La Chapelle is a powerhouse, sourced mainly from the Meal and aged in 20% new French oak. It features captivating mineral-infused aromas of spiced dark fruits, beef blood, black olive, and toast. Full-bodied, profound, and intricately layered, with concentrated flavors and a robust mid-palate. Ample tannins suggest potential for 4-5 years of aging. Poised for a prime drinking window of two to three decades, it reflects the consistent excellence of the rejuvenated Jaboulet estate under Caroline Frey's guidance in the Rhone Valley.
