N Rhone Feast (Noizé): Deep purple colour - young seeming for its age. Something a bit rum about this - discussion of VA at the table. Suspect this was not a great bottle.

My last bottle and no regrets in that sense. It's very fine afte an hour with ai, a tough almost lean vintage showing, but soon comes coffee, chocolate and tobacco. Tell tale iron notes as well, amazing depth here. No hurry, but certainky no sin to drink it either. #Bagnols-en-Fôret

4 hour decant. Very firm on first sip after decanting. Classic Chave nose . Palate intense but balanced. Quite a firm year . Plenty of time but very very good now

Allemand v Chave Los Angeles edition: Wildly different wine from the 1992 that was served by it. Really burly meaty and thick. Lots of olive and smoke on the nose and the palate had a coarse tannin and more tobacco driven notes with dark burly fruit. One to sit on for a bit longer

The nose is surprisingly moderate, showing a bit less of the classic Chave truffle and smoke, palate is somewhat resolved, opens a little easy, then turns more savory, adding complexity as it airs. Quite beautiful.
