Last week I had a few fellows over for a birthday meal \u2014<br \/>\nthey were all (or had already turned) 50, and I was 25 years ahead of<br \/>\nthem. Good for them: they still have more time than I do to do whatever they<br \/>\nneed to do in this life. For my part, I have spent years doing things I wanted<br \/>\nto do and had to do. One of them was collecting wine. For this evening, I<br \/>\npulled out one of four remaining bottles of 1989 La Chapelle Hermitage from<br \/>\nPaul Jaboulet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Georgia&quot;,serif; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;\">In the last century, I obtained three cases of this wine \u2014 one<br \/>\ncase of the 1985 and two cases of the 1989 \u2014 intending to enjoy them for<br \/>\nspecial occasions over the years: holidays mainly, but special birthdays too.<br \/>\nOver time I got to know this wine well; it became something like a member of<br \/>\nthe family. I tried both vintages as the years passed, but found the 1985 was<br \/>\ndeveloping faster than the 1989 \u2014 which was fortunate, since I only had one<br \/>\ncase of the 1985. That vintage is long gone, but the 1989s carried me forward<br \/>\nto this point. Three bottles remain.<span\/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"more\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Georgia&quot;,serif; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhK7kNVPkPRsit3FtrfvLrWOXS6K9aT25fHZoYtd0nlwHCrRIpuPzl3CCLbUfERs3QD1iSCuuVpv7QSZxI83eMXy5HZv30Wc9KVAAfE910jInH0-br45NAvOAy1ur2NqcOi0_LU2cCVTjV30sSkEI42hQqfR4PLvDWC8qL9pkS1fSFrb4LBEOd2\/s486\/july%2018%20five%20botles%20to%20try%20.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"325\" data-original-width=\"486\" height=\"268\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhK7kNVPkPRsit3FtrfvLrWOXS6K9aT25fHZoYtd0nlwHCrRIpuPzl3CCLbUfERs3QD1iSCuuVpv7QSZxI83eMXy5HZv30Wc9KVAAfE910jInH0-br45NAvOAy1ur2NqcOi0_LU2cCVTjV30sSkEI42hQqfR4PLvDWC8qL9pkS1fSFrb4LBEOd2\/w400-h268\/july%2018%20five%20botles%20to%20try%20.jpg\" width=\"400\"\/><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Georgia&quot;,serif; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;\">When we opened the wine this past weekend, it was in company<br \/>\nwith some older wines and some younger ones. It wasn&#8217;t a competition, but the<br \/>\ninevitable comparison happens anyway \u2014 which is normal, though not what this<br \/>\nwine really needed. The wine that &#8220;surpassed&#8221; it that night was a<br \/>\n2006 Vietti Barolo Villero, and it truly was the wine of the night: it went<br \/>\nwell with the food, stood up to decanting, and breezed through the evening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Georgia&quot;,serif; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;\">The &#8217;89 Hermitage stood back. It was older. It had had its<br \/>\nday. But it wasn&#8217;t dead \u2014 it just called for a different approach. And this is<br \/>\nwhere I had one of those &#8220;aha&#8221; moments one gets occasionally, or<br \/>\nrarely, in wine. This wine talked to me, as it has over the years, and told me<br \/>\nthis really wasn&#8217;t the right time for it to be opened. Nonetheless, here we<br \/>\nwere. So this is what we got.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Georgia&quot;,serif; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;\">I&#8217;m sitting in a large boat, and we&#8217;ve just gone through a day<br \/>\non the water. About two-thirds through, we hit rough seas \u2014 challenging waves,<br \/>\nbut nothing the boat couldn&#8217;t handle. It worked its way through the choppy<br \/>\nwater; in fact, it was a brilliant ride. The wind, the sun, the atomized water<br \/>\nin the face, the gulls above, the porpoises, the orca and her two calves<br \/>\nfrolicking alongside.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Georgia&quot;,serif; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;\">And then a calm sea. Serenity. Silence. Dead silence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Georgia&quot;,serif; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;\">That was what the wine was like that night. Just like that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Georgia&quot;,serif; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;\">But that isn&#8217;t the reason I&#8217;m writing this. There&#8217;s another<br \/>\npart of the story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Georgia&quot;,serif; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;\">We like to open wines and get the story right off: What does<br \/>\nit smell like? How&#8217;s the color? How does it taste? Is it pleasant to drink now,<br \/>\nor should we wait a few years (too late!)?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Georgia&quot;,serif; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;\">Wine writers and critics do this all the time, often posting a<br \/>\nnumerical score at the end to signal a wine&#8217;s worthiness to be bought,<br \/>\ncollected, consumed.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Georgia&quot;,serif; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEg9-z-QNnabSnjhHpTZUURj1F5-dre7TqUeg4hi7lSZU-KNzNQB_TPgk0a-6JkXUW64ceDCzGi2tBk2Lhwju2bw2DdfbFKi9WHahpY-F8j_7IpYKP1s5yrBAeiJfQXM07ktCf3rvt8i5INN1rmAzaL_BDPo6OUVb4w7lQEMX0O3HDyEjmjZLDW1\/s1024\/man%20holding%20bottles%20in%20piedmont%20in%20color.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"677\" data-original-width=\"1024\" height=\"265\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEg9-z-QNnabSnjhHpTZUURj1F5-dre7TqUeg4hi7lSZU-KNzNQB_TPgk0a-6JkXUW64ceDCzGi2tBk2Lhwju2bw2DdfbFKi9WHahpY-F8j_7IpYKP1s5yrBAeiJfQXM07ktCf3rvt8i5INN1rmAzaL_BDPo6OUVb4w7lQEMX0O3HDyEjmjZLDW1\/w400-h265\/man%20holding%20bottles%20in%20piedmont%20in%20color.jpg\" width=\"400\"\/><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Georgia&quot;,serif; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;\"><br \/>What I&#8217;ve found with the 1989 La Chapelle, over the years, as<br \/>\nwe&#8217;ve both grown older together, is that the wine has become less a thing to<br \/>\nanalyze and evaluate and more a companion in time. Like a family member, it&#8217;s<br \/>\nhad its ups and downs \u2014 crumbled corks, plenty of sediment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Georgia&quot;,serif; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;\">I know the saying &#8220;there are no great vintages, only<br \/>\ngreat bottles&#8221; gets repeated often, and I understand why people find truth<br \/>\nin it. But when you spend over thirty years with a wine, tasting it when it \u2014<br \/>\nand you \u2014 are young, and then open it during memorable moments, it becomes<br \/>\nsomething else. It isn&#8217;t a perfect &#8220;100.&#8221; That would be ludicrous,<br \/>\nand to me, disrespectful. It has had a life, and those bottles, in my care,<br \/>\nhave shown what kind of life that&#8217;s been.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Georgia&quot;,serif; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;\">When I got the wine, it was fresh, firm, healthy, from a good<br \/>\nif not great vintage. That&#8217;s why I collected it. I had read, pre-internet, that<br \/>\nHermitage had the possibility of a long life \u2014 fifty years or more \u2014 from<br \/>\nhistorical accounts. I thought, well, I&#8217;ll be around then, even though it&#8217;s a<br \/>\nlong time. Why not stock up and see where this wine goes? Thirty-seven years<br \/>\nlater (which went by in a flash, by the way), here we are, in the last stages<br \/>\nof a wine collected to be opened and enjoyed over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Georgia&quot;,serif; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;\">Evaluated? Of course \u2014 we took the quality into account. But<br \/>\nthere was an overriding aspect to one&#8217;s relationship with this wine that was<br \/>\nmore personal, more intimate. We were both living things moving through time<br \/>\ntogether, and in the act of drinking it, becoming one with each other in some<br \/>\nway. It affected me, it influenced me, it pleased me, surely \u2014 but it also<br \/>\nnourished me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Georgia&quot;,serif; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;\">And lest this seem like it was only about me: those around me<br \/>\npartook in the wine too. Some of those people are no longer with us \u2014 my wife<br \/>\nLiz, my mother, my aunts, friends who have passed on or moved away. It was a<br \/>\nwonderful experience to have opened and shared this wine, for exactly what it<br \/>\nwas made for. And to me, if one is to love wine, that&#8217;s the reason: this is<br \/>\nwhat that love looks like. The wine wasn&#8217;t always perfect. But the journey with<br \/>\nit has been exactly that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Georgia&quot;,serif; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEi5bGaKPmRYhzLbrgJOfXjdtlX13DGmaat0wqEk1WAfWjujYk4DWOmMrXRHhneXU2j_u2OL_Een_ZoDSJa4qbPw4dhjQAIgDol9zJ8QCdt7YvBS_MvM65z-co0AAS2H2taQ4vH-k6QKJGz0ZGBlPL3HZmAIWEx8JICaHOSwAoWtE6ItkNB0g9F6\/s1024\/dino%20illuminati%20and%20emidio%20pepe.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"728\" data-original-width=\"1024\" height=\"285\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEi5bGaKPmRYhzLbrgJOfXjdtlX13DGmaat0wqEk1WAfWjujYk4DWOmMrXRHhneXU2j_u2OL_Een_ZoDSJa4qbPw4dhjQAIgDol9zJ8QCdt7YvBS_MvM65z-co0AAS2H2taQ4vH-k6QKJGz0ZGBlPL3HZmAIWEx8JICaHOSwAoWtE6ItkNB0g9F6\/w400-h285\/dino%20illuminati%20and%20emidio%20pepe.jpg\" width=\"400\"\/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Dino Illuminati and Emidio Pepe\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Georgia&quot;,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 115%;\"><i>\u00a0P.S. \u2014 There&#8217;s a coda to this story I couldn&#8217;t have planned. As of this year, the winemaking at Paul Jaboulet A\u00een\u00e9&#8217;s Domaine de la Chapelle \u2014 the very wine this essay is about \u2014 has passed from Caroline Frey to Chiara Pepe, an Italian, from Abruzzo&#8217;s Emidio Pepe estate. Abruzzo isn&#8217;t just a region to me; it&#8217;s an area, and a particular one \u2014 Emidio Pepe, which I have long followed and loved, sits a short drive from Dino Illuminati&#8217;s winery in Controguerra, another winery I&#8217;ve worked with and also loved for years, in a corner of Italy I know well. That an Italian hand, from a family and a place I hold close, is now shaping the future of a wine that&#8217;s been part of my life for thirty-seven years \u2014 I couldn&#8217;t have made that up if I tried.
