Jaboulet Hermitage 1959 750mL (Chipped Wax Capsule)

"At age 40, this is holding up beautifully despite a large crop. What impresses is the sweet fruit layered thick on the midpalate, delivering plum, vanilla, brown sugar, smoke and leather notes. The tannins melt, and the finale is still fresh and balanced. A delight to taste." - Wine Spectator, WS94, tasted 12/1999
