1991 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage - France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Hermitage (6/14/2009)
Decanted for an hour prior to drinking. This is pretty much the pinnacle of syrah. Sous bois, spice box, tobacco and dried fruit on the nose. The palate is incredibly silky, with lots of cigar box and sous bois on the palate. The finish continues with lots of spice, dried cherries and dried flowers. The texture is amazing, with all components in perfect balance, which I find very rarely in Syrah. While I don’t think there’s much to gain with any more time in bottle, this is stunning right now. (95 pts.)
