Community Tasting Note

Monday, November 7, 2016 - 15 vintages of Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage, Rouge and Blanc (E&R Wine Shop, Portland OR): Some funky notes, showing more maturity here. Quite nice and lovely. The palate is rich and soft, again with some older notes. There's also a nice candied fruit present to counter balance that, almost like banana flavored sweet tarts. This is coupled with those older notes of a dusty book. Overall though, this shows itself quite integrated. Puckering and not as expressive on the finish. There is a bloom of richness and acid that comes a few seconds after swallowing, but again, not as vibrant as it should be. This bottle didn't show as fresh as the bottle I noted two years ago.
