---|---|---|---|---|
Frey's first vintage with full control, the ruby-colored 2007 Hermitage la Chapelle offers a forward, supple and sexy feel to go with plenty of cassis, black raspberry, jam-covered toast, honeysuckle and vanilla bean. Medium to full-bodied, open knit and ready to go, it shows the charming nature of the vintage and should be drunk up over the coming decade or so. Comparing the 2006 and 2007 to subsequent vintages where Frey had more and more control over the farming are night and day.

The 2007 Hermitage La Chapelle is a pretty, dark ruby/plum-colored effort displaying aromas of camphor, loamy soil, pepper, herbs and red and black fruits. Medium to full-bodied, soft, round and expansive, it is an endearing Hermitage to enjoy over the next decade. The dramatic differences between the 2007 and 2009 are remarkable when these two wines are tasted side by side.

Sleek and primal now, with a beam of glistening raspberry and red currant fruit running over well-integrated iron, black tea and roasted vanilla bean notes. Stays well-focused on the finish. Drink now through 2014. Score: 92 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2010-2014 30 April 2010 |

Heady, meaty nose. Luscious and so sweet and full compared with the 2008s! Firm underneath but actually so gorgeous you could, amazingly, drink it now. Long and sweet. Sweeter than it surely used to be, but certainly clean. Very long drinking window I would have thought. Score: 18 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2012-2028 19 November 2009 |
