The Jaboulet family declassified their famed Hermitage La Chapelle and Crozes-Hermitage Thalabert in both the 1992 and 1993 vintages. I was hoping for more impressive wines in 1994. The vegetal, light, soft, diluted 1994 Crozes-Hermitage Les Jalets is unexciting, as is the 1994 Crozes-Hermitage Thalabert. The latter wine reveals more color saturation, but it comes across as a hollow, simple, foursquare wine with no focal point, charm, or extract. I tasted all of these wines twice - just to be sure.
