JL Chave Selection, Hermitage Farconnet other_regions_italy with fine tanninThis 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.
