Hermitage La Chapelle Jaboulet 2012 is a Syrah from the granitic slopes of the Hermitage hill, primarily sourced from the Le Méal and Les Bessards climats. The 2012 season in the Northern Rhône saw a cool spring followed by a dry summer, allowing for full phenolic maturity at lower alcohol levels than the solar 2009 or 2010 vintages. This bottling reflects the estate`s shift toward cooler fermentations and restrained oak usage, prioritising aromatic precision and site-specific tension. The palate is defined by fine-grained tannins and a profile of smoked meats, violets and black olive tapenade with a characteristic granitic lift.
95 Vinous
Saturated ruby. Seductively perfumed bouquet displays suave black and blue fruit liqueur, potpourri and incense aromas underscored by a smoky mineral quality. Gains power and spiciness with air, picking up a sexy floral pastille quality that builds in the glass. Sweet, palate-coating blueberry and cherry-cola flavors are superbly concentrated yet lively thanks to juicy acidity and a zesty peppery nuance. Strikingly vibrant, linear and long on the finish, with the mineral and floral notes emphatically repeating.Josh Raynolds1st February 2015

Grilled raspberry, cumin, incense, sandalwood, smoked earth, tobacco leaf. Delivers a concentrated umami character, with black chocolate, red peppers, soy. Tannins remain intense and structured, and needs a little longer to fully resolve - something that is particularly highlighted when tasting against these melted older vintages.
