1995 Hermitage la Chapelle Jaboulet
La Chapelle is the greatest wine in the Jaboulet portfolio and the 1995 is unquestionably the finest La Chapelle made since the sensational quartet of 1988 1989 1990 and 1991. Jacques Jaboulet now believes the 1990 which I consider to be one of the all-time great La Chapelles will ultimately surpass the 1961 as the greatest Hermitage ever made by this firm! The 1995 which Jaboulet compares to the 1988 and 1982 boasts a deep ruby/purple color and a complex set of aromatics including scents of cassis minerals lead pencil and spice. The wine possesses good acidity full body outstanding richness and a tight personality. It needs 7-8 years of cellaring to reach its plateau of maturity after which it should last for more than two decades. Because of its fine acidity the 1995 reminds me somewhat of the 1972 with some of the 1988's character. RP
