Jaboulet Hermitage La Chapelle 1985 (Ex-Domaine) China This too reflects just enoughOne of the more finesse driven wines in the vertical, the 1985 Hermitage la Chapelle offered beautiful, complex notes of coffee beans, dried meats, potpourri and mint to go with a full bodied, elegant and seamless feel on the palate.
