Domaine de la Chapelle La Chapelle Hermitage 2022

Tasting Notes

This amazing Hermitage has an aromatic complexity that's extremely difficult to put into a few words. A cornucopia of forest berries, wild herbs and flowers pour from the glass. Incredibly focused and structured on the super-concentrated, medium- to full-bodied palate. As it aerates, notes of licorice, bark and black olive tapenade unfurl. But it's the almost endless, super-minerally finish that seals the deal. From organically grown grapes. Drink from release [into mid-to-late 2040s]. (Stuart Pigott,jamessuckling.com,Jan. 7, 2025)
