Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage 2014 - Bt | JR18.5

Tasting note

Lots going on here on the nose, wet hay, straw and popcorn with unripe melon and apricot skin. Plenty of oak still on the palate, real intensity of fruit and concentration, lanolin and wet wool on the long toasty finish. Rich and full – still resolving. Long, fine and still very, very young – drinking well but still a baby.

Score: 18.5
