Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Saint-Joseph Clos Florentin 2016
Detailed info
« Tasted in two components. #1) Le Clos: vibrant, mineral-inflected red and blue fruits, with olive, smoked meat and allspice notes and a touch of tobacco. Hefty, but its focus is maintained by a core of juicy acidity. #2) Les Clos Vieilles Vignes: hugely perfumed, displaying intense blueberry, cherry liqueur and candied violet qualities and exotic spice and smoky mineral flourishes. More weighty than the «regular« Clos but more energetic as well, showing seamless texture and a remarkably long floral-inflected finish. I'm guessing there won't be many Hermitages that will match this wine for sheer elegance as well as depth.»
