DOMAINE JEAN-LOUIS CHAVE Hermitage 2005

The 2005 Hermitage from Jean-Louis Chave is absolutely sensational. This expressive Syrah comes from a combination of seven different terroirs. The aromas here are simply stunning, opening with roasted plum followed by smoked meat, leather, pepper, roasted tomato, dried herbs and a hint of white truffle. On the palate this is beautifully balanced and possesses a gorgeous silky texture that glides effortlessly across your palate backed by a wonderful streak of acidity that carries over onto the finish. Today this is showing exceptionally well, however there is still plenty of life left and it should have no issues lasting for many years to come . (Best 2015-2032) - August, 2015 (JD)
