February 28, 2024 - Firm, austere, muscular styled wine, with an herbal, leafy edge, along with cedar, mint, and property red fruits . Stern, but regal, with a crisp edge, a bit of air before service helps. Drink 2024-2045.

February 24, 2024 - Another great bottle of this. Really elegant and restrained Chave but with real depth. Long finish. I'd say at peak but should cruise for years.

November 21, 2023 - Always considered Chave a more Burgundian Hermitage and this one really fits the Burgundian character. Not a Pinot by any stretch but a more reserved style Heritage. The label say 13% alcohol which matches up with the style of the wine. There is definitely smoke and bacon on the nose initially which softens to a more spicy cherry nose with air. The tannins are mostly resolved and the flavors are a nice cherry, plum thing. the finish is persistent but not super long. Two thumbs up here!

October 22, 2023 - 95’ Chave can be a bit stubborn and tightly wound, but this 375ml bottle was ready to go after an hour in the decanter, and only continued to improve in the glass. More of a powerful and brooding vintage for Chave, without the softer elegance you can expect from many other 90s vintages. Still extremely delicious though, of course.
