Jaboulet Aine, Hermitage La Chapelle 1989 Rhone u. three at 2.5cm, one at 3cm, one at 4cm "This fabulous, blockbuster has been totally unevolved since bottling, but at the Jaboulet tasting, it was beginning to reveal some of its formidable potential. A saturated opaque purple color is followed by aromas of cassis, minerals, and hot bricks/wood fire. Super-ripe and full-bodied, with a massive mid-section, teeth-staining extract, and mouth-searing tannin, it is a monster-sized La Chapelle. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2050" R. Parker, 96 pts. 06/00 5 bottles
