JL Chave Selection, Hermitage Farconnet Size:12x750ml It's a wine for fansThis shows mature notes, with espresso and warm cocoa melding into the mulled plum and blackberry fruit, while sauvage notes of tapenade, charcoal and bay leaf fill in on the finish. An underlying iron accent creeps along throughout. Hitting its stride already, but will hold in the cellar a bit. The debut bottling for Hermitage from Chave's ngoce portfolio. Drink now through 2020. 200 cases imported. JM
