Hermitage La Petite Chapelle 2011 Jaboulet Aine

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (91)

Looking at the two Hermitage releases, the 2011 La Petite Chapelle (100% Syrah aged 15 months in oak) is an approachable, seamless and sexy effort that gives up a perfumed bouquet of black raspberry, cassis, creamy licorice and assorted chocolaty nuances. Medium to full-bodied, with loads of fruit and texture, this total charmer will continue to impress for a decade or more.

Compact black fruit, intense tannins, though with softened edges. Dark chocolate, leather, liquorice and black olive. Substantial and very young. Deserves plenty of ageing.?
