1978 Hermitage La Chapelle, Paul Jaboulet Aine

This dry old red wine still possesses fairly deep ruby colour. On nose it has close to pronounced level aromas of black plum, leather, mint leaf, black pepper, earth and roasted herb. Medium acidity and alcohol with medium ripe and fine grained tannin. Quite full bodied. On palate it gives higher than medium intensity flavours of black cherry, mint jam, licorice, roasted herb, black pepper and mineral. Fairly long length with mint leaf mixing black berry finish.

這應是我喝過最好的HERMITAGE。複雜而強烈的香氣，亦充滿著 品種特色。幾十年的酒在各方面也融合了。酒味亦保持其表現，酒味更有層次地展現，餘韻出色，回味亦充滿複雜性，令人再三回味，難忘的好酒。
