La Chapelle Hermitage Syrah 1978

Pure expression of old Hermitage, old leather & dried purple flowers, there's still such an intensity of fruit to this though, it's definitely a world class wine... — 9 years ago

9.1

After 2011, a slightly more powerful and tannic expression. A little reduced today, yet you feel the potential. This wine deserve age for sure. It is can be considered a benchmark for Chenin in the warmer Californian climate — 10 years ago

"Bobby" Parker made his name, built his entire career, with the 1982 vintage. Did "Bobby" eeny-meeny-miny-mo correctly?

Web: dunno but this was banging. Some 82s I have tried the Brett sort of takes them over or they are kind of dead. This was good. Are you in the neighborhood? I have a few ounces left if you wanna try:-)

Josh, you are sweetheart, thank you. I am in Tahoe this eve for work(yeah!) and Grass Valley/Sacramento tomorrow for work. It's OK to be jealous regarding all the Proseco and Malbec you are missing! But, seriously(no, really, seriously), '82 is the vintage "Bobby" became famous most specifically because he persuaded investment, which has garnered returns. If the wines actually drink well, then boo-yah, "Bobby"! Seriously, I am thrilled the bottle is bangin'!
