Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 94
A dazzling wine, the dark garnet/amber color of the 1949 La Chapelle is accompanied by aromas of molasses, exotic Asian spices, roasted duck, prune, and blackberry liqueur. In the mouth, this expansive, full-bodied, exotic wine exhibited terrific sweetness, awesome glycerin levels, sweet tannin, and, in addition to the aforementioned aromatic characteristics, coffee flavors. Full-bodied as well as extremely fresh, this offering not only drank fabulously well out of the bottle, but held up in the glass until I couldn't defer my gratification any longer. This was the first time I tasted the 1949 La Chapelle, so I do not know what other bottles have revealed, but this was a profound example of a mature La Chapelle that has lived 50+ years with nary a blemish.
Wine Spectator 99
This is 50 years old but still young and in perfect condition. Much riper than the '53, it's full-bodied and loaded with terroir and concentrated plum, mineral, blackberry and chestnut. Balanced and sweet-tasting, with firm but ripe tannins and a long finish.--La Chapelle vertical. Drink now through 2030
Neil Martin, Wine Journal, eRobert Parker
"With respect to the wines, there were two bottles encountered earlier this year that were the apotheosis of fermented grape juice...an astounding Hermitage La Chapelle 1949 from Paul Jaboulet that silenced an awe-struck table.
