More truffled and rich than the 1989, but with even more fruit, somehow. Superb acidic definition that gives shape to the whole frame. Finest tannin, vivid fruit and a long, earthy finish.

Dark red. Good intensity. Evolved. Clean. Intense. Fruity. Smoky. Animal. Complex. Reduced, but appropriately. Dense. Notes of fur and ink. Soft attack, developing on a caressing and silky yet energetic structure in the mouth. The wine is tender and at the same time broad with a great taste of licorice, violet and blackberry. Remarkably enveloped and melting tannicity, finishing powerful and long. This is very great with a mineral notion and solidity. Here, there is no longer any chalky character in the tannin. Thus, these wines improve. Marvelous approach, both firm and light.

The core of iron wrapped, ripe, pure cherry and cassis fruit popped from the glass. Full bodied, rich and close to fully evolved. This is drinking great today and while it will age effortlessly for several years, there is no reason to hold off from enjoying its charms.

Domaine Jean-Louis Chave

The Jean Louis Chave estate is the jewel of a centuries-old family. Jean Louis Chave is the sixth generation of winemakers in this domain. The estate is renowned for its high-quality Hermitage wines. Located in the North of the Rhône region, the estate includes a 10-hectare vineyard for the production of its red wines; including a plot of very old vines Les Roucoules, another 80-year-old Les Bessards, relatively young vines at L'Ermite, extremely old at Péléat and Beaumes, and 50-year-old vines at Méal.

Each of these vineyards produces a wine with slightly different palettes of aromas, textures, and flavors, but the "sum of the parts" is much more interesting than each cuvée taken individually. The red Hermitage from the Chave estate becomes dazzling after several years of aging. Full-bodied and concentrated, beautifully complex and refined, it develops a vast range of aromas from blackcurrant to smoky notes, including prune and spice flavors.

The white wine from the Chave estate develops creamy and honeyed aromas of hazelnut, peach, and apricot, with a rare unctuousness, and has a aging potential of several decades. These Hermitages stand out, with their freshness, balance, finesse, and length, clearly above all others.
