Paul Jaboulet Aine Hermitage La Chapelle 2003

Deceptively graceful at first, with a Burgundy-like perfume, this quickly delivers a torrent of fruit–blackberry, boysenberry and black currant–that cascades over itself, pushed from behind by flavors of mocha, mineral, tar and violets. Long, sweet and pure through a densely structured finish. *Collectible, Top 100 Wine of 2006*  ~ Wine Spectator

Louis Jaboulet said that only the 1947 was harvested as early as this 2003. Extremely spicy, full of black fruits and wild herbs. Can be broached relatively young – this is the joy of 2003 pretty well everywhere. Vivid and vivacious and totally true to itself. ~ Serena Sutcliffe, MW
