A rare treat indeed, this gem delivers its smoke, flowers, cherries, licorice, and herb filled perfume with little effort. The palate follows through as expected with its bright, fresh, earthy, herb, cedar, and tobacco-tinted mid-palate and finish. Drink from 2024-2035.

Gereiftes Rubin, orange Ränder. Sehr weit entwickelte Nase, kein Vergleich mit dem 83er daneben, Pilze, Waldboden, Unterholz. Im Gaumen rund, gereift, markantes, leicht trocknendes Tannin, nicht wirklich harmonisch was die Säure angeht. Mittellanger Abgang, trocknendes Finale. Natürlich, kein schlechter Wein, jedoch weit weg von dem, was Chave sonst bietet. In diesem Zustand kein Highlight.

My second bottle of 78 Chave, this was kind of similar to the first bottle -- funky and dirty on the nose, but bright and fresh on the palate.

Lightly corked and such a shame, too, because what's underneath the taint is glorious with a remarkable depth of fruit and freshly ground black pepper.

Chave: "In the name of science" (Chicago, IL): What a wine to be corked. Some at the table didn't think so, but even tasting the wine, it just didn't seem like there was anything I missed.
