Domaine Jean-Louis Chave
Hermitage Syrah



This was (despite the consensus that said it was an awful vintage) all about elegance . Lovely fragrant nose of shoe polish, leather and earth. In the mouth black fruit , pepper and gamey flavors on a moderate finish . Elegance personified .

Drank from a magnum. Light body, soft tannin, slight peppery and barnyard. Drinking very well.

Sublime depth and complexity, mushroom, leather, black pepper, charcuterie, intergrated with beautiful red and black fruit. Beautiful texture and weight - rounded but with good heft. Lots of oomph
