  • 1988 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage - France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Hermitage (12/20/2009)
    Really aromatic of beef blood, asian spices, and red and black fruit. Wine is fully resolved and has an almost ethereal texture. Flavors on the palate took a while to come around but built over time in the glass. The burgundian nature of this wine made it a really good pairing with the rabbit stew I had. (93 pts.)

Nice note, and indeed aged Chave Hermitage has a textural quality that reminds me of aged red Burgundy.
