Excellent 08. Chave and Allemand really nailed the difficult vintage in Northern Rhône, and 2008 Hermitage is showing beautifully tonight, fresh, elegant and detailed with aromas of juicy red berry fruit, bacon, roasted herbs and smoky minerals. While not an exceptionally deep and concentrated rendition in 2008, it’s really a considerable success, and it’s fully open, giving and ready to drink.

A gorgeously meaty and tangy nose with dark fruit. Medium bodied and savory with depth of fruit and resumes. Dried herbs and a bloody base but supple and quite lean at the edges. Real character.
