Domaine Jean-Louis Chave
Hermitage Blanc Marsanne Roussanne
Blanc*. More advanced than the rest of the whites from the '80s but still broad, exotic, and delicious.

May 30th, 2015Nutty In a super umami way nose is just siiiiiiixk. Complex. Old. Old. Almost sherry like. Intoxicating. Still has that sick acidic balance after 29 years. Bucket list experience. Off the charts internal aromatics. Still juicy after all this time.
