The 1989 La Chapelle is one of the most celebrated bottlings in Rhône history, frequently mentioned alongside the legendary 1961 as a career-defining vintage for the estate. At this stage of maturity, expect a nose of dried roses, black olive, leather, and smoked meat, layered over still-vibrant dark fruit. The palate is silky and resolved, with fine, integrated tannins and remarkable length — a wine that has reached a rare peak of complexity while still holding real structure. A landmark bottle for serious Syrah collectors.
"This fabulous, blockbuster has been totally unevolved since bottling, but at the Jaboulet tasting, it was beginning to reveal some of its formidable potential. A saturated opaque purple color is followed by aromas of cassis, minerals, and hot bricks/wood fire. Super-ripe and full-bodied, with a massive mid-section, teeth-staining extract, and mouth-searing tannin, it is a monster-sized La Chapelle. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2050"
