1998 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave St. Joseph - France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, St. Joseph (6/15/2009)
This is liquid olive tapenade, gravel, bacon fat and berries. Needed some time to fill out in the glass, but after about 30 minutes it showed plush fruit, intense flavors, and lovely acid structure. Drinking at peak in my opinion and nowhere to go but downhill. Perfect foil for grilled NY Strip steak tonight. The fattiness of the steak was cut through by the acidity structure of the wine. Delicious.
