Saturated ruby. Fresh blackberry and blueberry on the highly perfumed nose, complicated by sexy Indian spice and violet notes. Densely packed dark berry liqueur flavors pick up a candied licorice quality with air, along with hints of smoky minerals and fruitcake. Coats the palate and shows outstanding concentration, but there's no excess fat here. Finishes with firm, spicy cut, slow-building tannins and a suave echo of candied flowers.

The 2013 Hermitage la Petite Chapelle has brighter acidity than the 2012 and firm tannin, but has solid mid-palate concentration and good length. It shows the vintage profile clearly and I suspect it will come together nicely once in bottle. Give it a few years in the cellar and drink it through 2025.||The revamped Jaboulet firm, under the leadership of Caroline Frey, seems to have settled in and are now producing one serious lineup of wines from throughout the Rhone Valley. eRobertParker.com.December, 2014
