Description
legendary icon of Northern Rhône Syrah, Paul Jaboulet Aîné’s Hermitage La Chapelle 2005 is a mature, expressive wine from one of the region’s most prestigious appellations. Deeply rooted in the steep, granite‑soiled slopes overlooking Tain‑l’Hermitage, La Chapelle stands among the most collectible and admired Syrah wines in the world — and the 2005 vintage showcases elegance, depth, and sophistication gained through careful ageing.
Tasting Notes: This mature Hermitage displays a rich ruby‑garnet colour with an intensely complex bouquet of dark berries, blackcurrant, smoked meat, leather, and savory spice, layered with subtle oak‑influenced notes of vanilla and toast. On the palate, it is full‑bodied yet refined, with silky, integrated tannins, ripe fruit concentration, mineral depth, and a long, persistent finish that speaks to both power and finesse.
