1983 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave HermitageSyrah more |
7/4/2019 - dmalcolm wrote: NRFrom a half bottle (purchased on release, perfect fill just below cork) and decanted for sediment, the nose was pure fireworks out of the gates and mostly tertiary, with black tea, cinnamon, eucalyptus, green and black peppercorns. On the palate it was long and silky with savoury red fruits, salty black olives and old leather. While sublime for the first hour, it began to fade with more time in the decanter. |

7/4/2019 - dmalcolm wrote: NRHigher toned, red fruited and floral nose. An elegant Chave, this had finer tannins and less structure than the 00, 95 and 96 paired up against. Very balanced, silky and enjoyable, on the early side of maturity. |

1985 Salon Champagne Blanc de Blancs BrutChardonnay more |
11/29/2018 - dmalcolm wrote: NRFrom magnum. Light golden. Still persistent mousse. Complex melange of honey, nuts, nougat, brioche, a little caramel. Mature flavours, but tons of energy. The flavours really fanned out over the course of several hours. Exceptional! |

1979 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave HermitageSyrah more |
8/15/2018 - dmalcolm wrote: NRPurchased on release and stored in a cool cellar. The fill was very high, barely a few cm under the cork, giving promise this would be a good bottle. Wow, was it ever. The nose had the full complement of tertiary notes of exotic spices, red and dark berries, and leather. The palate was all silky smoothness with no hard edges and the wine held up over the course of several hours. This bottle was just singing. |

12/1/2017 - dmalcolm wrote: NRThe nose was very expressive and classic, with dark fruits, violets and roasted meat. Unfortunately though, the palate did not measure up and was thin, lacking in fruit and disjointed with prominent acidity. Perhaps an off bottle. |

8/27/2017 - dmalcolm wrote: NRThis was delicious but is still a baby. It exhibited lemon curd, saline, and a slight cheesy funkiness but overall was still quite reserved even though it was decanted for a few hours prior to serving. Very enjoyable to drink, but more bottle age would undoubtedly allow this to become more expressive. |

3/9/2017 - dmalcolm wrote: flawedAfter pulling the cork and pouring a glass, it's obvious the colour is a little darker than it should be. The nose started out ok however, with lemon curds and some flinty mineral and a little butterscotch. And then gradually it got worse, with more pronounced sweet and unpleasant aromas of oxidation. |
