Domaines Paul Jaboulet Aîné mixed vintage Crozes-Hermitage Domaine de Thalabert

Lying duty & tax free ex-cellar Domaines Paul Jaboulet Aîné

6 bottles in original case, 2 bottles each vintage 1978, 1990 and 1991

Tasting Note: "The 1990 (92/100 points Robert Parker, Rhone Book Jan 1997) is an unqualified winner. My instincts suggest it will easily eclipse the 1978. The 1990 exhibits a huge, roasted Syrah nose and the massive power produced by the hot sun and drought of this vintage. It has also benefited from an unbelievably long 40-day maceration. The huge, smoky, superripe nose of herbs, coffee, and cassis is followed by a densely packed, authoritatively rich, nearly massive, surprisingly well-balanced wine. Anticipated maturity: now-2005. Last tasted 12/95."
