2012 Hermitage, La Chapelle, Paul Jaboulet Aîné, Rhône england but it deserves three orThe 2012 Hermitage la Chapelle is a gorgeous effort that shows the purity and texture of the vintage, as well as the class of the le Meal lieu dit. Offering up classic black raspberry and sweet dark fruit, Asian spice, toasted bread, licorice and savory herbs, this beauty is full bodied, beautifully concentrated and has enough tannic grip to demand 4 5 years of bottle age. It will have 3 decades of longevity. Jeb Dunnuck
