First introduction to the power of J.L. Chave. Dried blueberries and cherries fill the nose followed by a rush of pepper and freshly dried herbs, particularly thyme and rosemary. Dried cranberries and red currants lead the charge on the palate with smoked meat and the earthiness that I love from Rhône style wines right behind. Terrific mouthfeel with the right amount of tannins and acidity, and a long fruit forward finish. Chave’s Hermitage is a top dream wine for me, and this just adds fuel to the fire. — 6 years ago

I had an ‘11 Chave Hermitage a month or two ago and it was very impressive, even if obviously a baby.

@Shay A jealous... would love to get my hands on a ‘09 or ‘10 one of these days.
