Used a giant butt plug to decant this ‘78 Jaboulet over 2 hours. Wine showed very young given its age. Nose of peppered steak and berries. Tannins were resolved on the palate with hints of plums, wood chips, mushrooms and a touch of jerky. The finish had a mild tartness to it.
This wine had a lot going on in terms of complexity but I felt that it lacked overall density and power. Everything was a bit too “light” for my liking, as I expected more from a decent vintage of Hermitage.

Wine’s cool and everything but where did the danger butt-plug come from?
