Paul Jaboulet Aîné Hermitage La Chapelle 2011 is a mature Syrah from the hill of Hermitage in the Northern Rhône valley. This wine is named after the tiny chapel which sits atop the hill of Hermitage overlooking the river Tain which runs through the valley. The Jaboulet family had purchased the Chapel and its land in the early 1900s.

"A gorgeous intensity of plum, spice and grilled meat on the nose. Cloves and hints of dried spices. This is a big, structured La Chappelle. Full and powerful with chewy tannins and a long, long finish. A bit austere and muscular but gorgeous. Tar, spice, dried meat and asphalt. Needs to be aged for at least another five or six years. This is another 1991 in the making."
