Wednesday, April 20, 2022 - Early dinner gathering (Blacksalt, Washington DC): Another explosive nose displaying perfectly ripe black fruit, blackberry liqueur, blackberry, black cherry, licorice, rare steak, cedar, garrigue, a hint of bacon, liquid smoke, perfume, sweet spices and crushed rocks. Exceptional concentration, layers upon layers of concentrated pure black fruit, rich and generous yet also perfectly precise and detailed, fluid and weightless, perfect amount of acidity and mineral, and a seamless long perfectly ripe black fruit driven finish with rare steak and cedar at the end. The 05 Chave has been incredibly consistent from the beginning. Truly a monumental wine.
