Reviews & Scores
The 1978 Hermitage La Chapelle remains one of the benchmark wines of the world and is always an incredible treat to taste. It’s been fully mature for the past decade or more and offers an incredible array of sweet red and black fruits, barbecue smoke, cured meats, licorice, Asian spices, and coffee. Deep, powerful, and layered, it’s tastes like a hypothetical mix of the 1990 and 1961, showing the purity and freshness of the 1990 and the smoke, meaty, powerful character of the 1961. Incredibly full-bodied, beautifully pure, magically textured, and as profound as wine gets, I wish I could pour sound bottles of this for every reader. It’s not going to get any better, and my advice is to drink up, but it’s going to hold nicely for some time. - JD

Today the wine shows an almost smokey character on the nose with so many dried plums, pepper and meat. The palate, meanwhile, is incredibly supple with round and velvety tannins and wondrous, sexy fruit. - JS

Opaque plum/garnet-colored, with a fabulously sweet, youthful bouquet of licorice, incense, smoked meats, pepper, and blackberry/cassis fruit, the full-bodied 1978 La Chapelle is extremely young with astonishing vigor, velvety tannin, and a full-bodied, multi-dimensional, layered personality. The finish lasts for over 60 seconds. Remarkably fresh and not yet fully mature, the super-concentrated 1978 should continue to age well for another three decades. (RP) - WA
