Note below is spot on--this wine is completely shut down. Firmly structured with assertive tannins, and fruit relegated to the background. Not much pleasure to be had at the moment--leave these in the cellar for a few more years.

Big fan of '11 Northern Rhones, and Chave rarely fails to meet my expectations. Best after an hour or so of air. Red fruited, savory, with textbook Syrah markers--tapenade, smoke, bacon fat, garrigue. Seductively textured with a long finish. Drinking well now, but I think upside remains.

Reviews on this wine are all over the map. Bottle variation or is this wine that confusing?

Personally, I thought this was excellent. Nice developed notes of wet earth and leather, countered by a still fresh, high-toned cherry note. Similar on the palate, with subtle tannins and bright acid adding to a silky mouthfeel.

Still on the upswing in my opinion and should continue to improve, but worth checking in on now if you have a few bottles.
