Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2013 Hermitage la Chapelle will be a step back from the 2012, yet is still beautiful Hermitage that has real depth and character. It has lots of liquid-rock-like minerality, damp earth, cracked pepper and sweet black raspberry fruit, as well as medium to full-bodied weight, good concentrated and bright acidity. Like a lot of upper tier 2013s, it should be relatively unfriendly in its youth, and require short-term cellaring. 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.
James Suckling
Plenty of pepper on the nose. This has a striking, granitic influence with graphite, black stones, beef fat and sweet spices, as well as plenty of star anise and dark, rich plums. The palate has rich, deep fleshy fruit that has really filled out nicely. Tannins are fine and gently grippy. There's plenty of dark plum flesh with some mocha and chocolate, too. Acidity is bright. Drinking well now, but will shine from 2025.
Vinous
Inky purple. Heady, mineral-accented aromas of dried cherry, blackberry and pungent herbs, with a sexy potpourri nuance building in the glass. Juicy, concentrated and broad, offering vibrant cherry compote and licorice pastille flavors and a hint of fruitcake. Supple, fine-grained tannins give shape to the penetrating, smoky finish, which leaves sappy black and blue fruit notes behind.
