Domaine J.L. Chave L'Hermitage 2022

"Among the finest expressions of the challenging 2021 vintage, with finessed ripeness and understated polish. Earthy and salty, offering sanguine animal notes and well-integrated white pepper freshness. Cashmere tannins are softened yet still keep a gentle grip on the finish, which stretches out effortlessly. Sublime now and built to go the distance. Drink now through 2038." 96 Pts Wine Spectator
