DOMAINE JEAN-LOUIS CHAVE HERMITAGE 1999 (1)
Rhône.
scuffed label
More in the style of the ’01, the 1999 Hermitage is a serious effort that gives up a mineral-drenched profile of red and blackcurrants, beef blood, iron and dried flowers. More forward on the nose than the palate, with a tight, yet seamless texture that carries ample concentration and length, with bright acidity, it should continue to shine for another decade.

PIERRE GONON SAINT-JOSEPH 2011 (1 mag.)
Rhône.
Similar to the sexy, open-knit and ready to go 2012, the 2011 St Joseph shows the sunny nature of the vintage with its awesome perfume of sweet black raspberries, incense, dried violets and wild herbs. Layered, ripe, medium to full-bodied and downright seamless, it's drinking brilliantly today but will keep for another decade. December 2016 WA 94
