La Chapelle Hermitage Syrah
Not as bone dry and earthy as my preferred Northern rhone wines, perhaps due to vintage, but there's plenty of character.

Nov 8th, 2015Atypical for this wine but not as hot as other 03 rhones. When you're standing at the top of la Chapelle itself, though, it tastes so much better.
