This bottle was a library release from the Chave cellars. Decanted about an hour prior to service (but could have benefited from more time) and enjoyed over the course of several hours. The 2001 Chave rouge pours a deep ruby/purple color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with significant staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of charred blueberry pie, mushrooms, scorched earth, grilled meat, coffee, black pepper and soft baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and super complex. With more and more air, this really came into its own. Totally Chave. Totally Hermitage. Totally awesome. Drink now with a little patience and through 2041. — 17 hours ago

Fabulous. Just amazing. We had the ‘12 in 2024, and it was still powerful and wonderful. It was delightful as we toasted with it, it was lovely with our shrimp summer rolls, it was great with salmon, and it was exquisite with a Wagyu filet. As amazing as it is on its own, it’s just as delicious with food. Wow. Just wow. — 8 hours ago
