Possibly my value wine of the year, the Chave Selection Mon Coeur displays a dark, deep and intriguing bouquet of black fruit, olive, savory herbs, dark earth, minerals abd floral tones. On the palate, I found silky medium-weight textures with a savory mix of blackberry, cherry sauce, char, herbs, minerals and violet florals. The finish was fresh as black fruits gave way to lingering minerality and inner floral tones--wow! — 9 years ago

The 1997 is in a glorious spot right know. All the components are in harmony. The nose is so intoxicating almost haunting. Notes of road tar, black olive, spy, fennel seed are wrapped with dried black cherry, plum, cassis and blood orange. The tannins are silky with lots of spice and earth tones with the dried and fresh red fruit flavors. Mineral and fruit driven finish. I very minor nit is the mid-palate lacks just a bit of texture. 1997 was a tough year but the Chave philosophy of blending across the lieu fits and a rigorous selection have yielded a gem. From a hedonistic perspective this is a 10. — 8 years ago
