Sunday, September 18, 2022 - Sunday Lunch with Raveneau Chablis and Chave Hermitage (Piccino Restaurant, San Francisco): Deep ruby. Ripe, sweet fruit approaching surmaturité and perfumed green herbs on the nose. Slightly lighter weight and higher acidity than the 2010. Fabulous mixture of blueberry, soil, and other savory flavors. Drier tannins and tighter structure than the 2010, but this too is superb with the balance and bones to allow it to age for a very long time. It is not as open or immediately enjoyable as its younger sib and is probably more likely to go through periods of being shut down, but it seems like another sure thing.
