Description

Hermitage 2010
J.L. Chave
Bottle (1)

Property of a key Napa winemaker, whose passion for the grape extends well past cabernet. Stored in an immaculate cellar with redundant temperature and humidity controls.

"Pure perfection, the 2010 Hermitage reminds Jean-Louis Chave of their 1990. It appears to be a richer, fresher example of what I remember the 1990 tasting like in 1992. The wine exhibits an opaque purple color along with an extraordinary bouquet of sweet blackberry fruit intermixed with creme de cassis, lead pencil shavings, acacia flowers, bouquet garni, meat and crushed rocks. Full-bodied and stunningly rich with laser-like precision, this is a powerful, massive yet exceptionally well-balanced wine that should be forgotten for a decade and drunk over the following 30-40 years." (100 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #204, Dec. 2012)
