 More forward, open and textured, the 2000 Hermitage is an almost promiscuous effort that's just hard to resist. According to Jean-Louis, this wine has never shut down and has always delivered plenty of pleasure. It has classic cassis and blackberry fruit, bacon fat, violets and herbs to go with a full-bodied, layered and seamless, if not voluptuous, style on the palate. I'd line bottles up for drinking over the coming couple of years, but it should hold nicely for upward of a decade.

Dark red colour. Intense. Beautiful. Medium intensity nose. Fresh. Fine. Ripe. All softness and nuance. Floral. On swirling, intense. Fresh. Fine. Rich. Soft and smooth attack, developing on a refined mouthfeel and a dense body but, I repeat, without excess. Very slow, savoury tannic evolution, leaving a pure taste and above all a melting tannicity. The structure shows mineral and chalky on the finish. Beautiful savoury length where we find violet, cocoa, liquorice.

The fruit has a nice purity, there is ample body and concentration allowing the wine to take up enough room on your palate But the tannins are dry, which takes away from overall experience and the finish.

Dense ruby red. The nose is somewhat restrained, needs time, develops only hesitantly, hints at depth. On the palate powerful, forceful, taut, lots of structure, somewhat restrained fruit, currently the framework dominates, the tannins are still very much in the foreground, but not drying. Long finish. A wine that needs time but also runs the risk of drying out at some point.

Mint, blood, blackberry. A library book scent too. Has the reverence, the ethos and the greatness of the best maturing wines – and the balance is just now coming into harmony. Dense potent, heavy, wonderful.

Domaine Jean-Louis Chave

The Jean Louis Chave estate is the jewel of a centuries-old family. Jean Louis Chave is the sixth generation of winemaker in this estate. The domain is renowned for its high-quality Hermitage wines. Located in the North of the Rhône region, the estate includes a 10-hectare vineyard for the production of its red wines; including a plot of very old vines Les Roucoules, another 80-year-old Les Bessards, relatively young vines at l'Ermite, extremely old at Péléat and Beaumes, and 50-year-old vines at Méal.

Each of these vineyards produces a wine with slightly different palettes of aromas, textures and flavours, but the "sum of the parts" is far more interesting than each cuvée taken individually. The red Hermitage from Domaine Chave becomes dazzling after several years of ageing. Full-bodied and concentrated, magnificently complex and refined, it develops a vast array of aromas ranging from blackcurrant to smoky notes, with hints of prune and spices.

The white wine from Domaine Chave develops creamy and honeyed aromas of hazelnut, peach and apricot, with a rare unctuousness, and has the potential to age for several decades. These Hermitages stand out, with their freshness, balance, finesse, and length, clearly above all others.
