Hermitage Rouge Jean-Louis Chave 2009 is a red Syrah from the Hermitage appellation in the Northern Rhône. It features a complex profile of roasted meat, blackberry jam, ground pepper and graphite, representing a profound expression of this granite-based site. The massive structural tannins of the vintage are now showing signs of softening in this larger format, allowing secondary nuances of leather, olive tapenade and subtle wood smoke to emerge with time. Its density is matched by a remarkable focus and precision, ensuring that the 2009 remains a modern-day rival to the estate`s legendary 1990 vintage.
