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.

96 Points
"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"
