Nez leger de fruits noirs, incense… Huge nice concentration, black and blue fruit, incense… powdery tannin, lenght of 30 sec, very nice wine in the style of Chave!!

notes of ripe berry, plum and iron on the nose, balanced with dark elegance, complete and seamless, mixed berry, plum, violet and a hint of stone on the finish, pure with polish, easy to drink and food-friendly, certainly tasty now but showing good potential to age, lovely

Perfectly decent bottle of wine. However it was a lot 'bigger' than I had expected. Quite black fruited and a tad hot from the 14.5% alc. Blind I'd have been guessing southern Rhone. I had this a couple of days after a cheaper Cote Rotie, the CR was a far more elegant and interesting wine. This was a bit of a brute in comparison. Drank well in the chill of an autumnal night but it's poor qpr.

On fire tonight - juicy sweet raspcherry and menthol and cinnamon joining in on a ride that explodes on the palate with electric citricity where attentions are finally drawn to regal velvety tannins that never turned dry so smothered they were - Chave’s SJ is on the list
