Level 1cm below base of cork.
Bricky colour – still healthy; sweet leather, charcouterie, iodine on the nose (a friend later noted ‘baked cherry pie’ which I go on his suggestion – certainly sweetness); sweet fruit on the palate, moderate concentration. This is fairly straightforward to taste, yet balanced and delicious, with reasonable length – like a 34-year-old version of the 1997 perhaps. This is now past its best but still very good.

Mature brick with slight amber at the edge. Explosive nose of ripe complex roasted fruit, baked pie crust and iodine. Fantastic pure red fruit with good delineation; expansive, balanced and long. Obviously a ripe vintage and excellent winemaking. Fully mature and drinking best of tonight’s lot.

Tasted at our Jaboulet Hermitage ‘La Chapelle’ Vertical Tasting, 30th March 2004.
