Tasting Notes
Robert Parker – 99
Chave’s 2018 Hermitage is another in a long list of legends to emerge from this meticulously run estate. Showing remarkably complex aromas of pressed violets, ground cloves and cracked peppercorns against a backdrop of cassis, blueberries and licorice, it’s a super effort. Full-bodied, concentrated, rich and velvety in feel, it’s seamless and longa just the complete package in a wine that’s surprisingly approachable, yet should prove capable of aging effortlessly for two decades or more.
Anticipated maturity: 2022-2045
