Good show for Chave in '08. Nice Syrah & St Joseph character.

Nice smoky, earthy, mineral driven nose with cassis, mulberry and red cherry fruit. Palate has nice interplay of tannins and acidity. The fruit is a touch shy. Drinking well now with no reason to age further. Strong showing from a difficult year.

Earth, raw beef, soy and iodine with cassis and plum fruit. Lacks a touch of depth due to vintage with good earthy cassis and red cherry fruit. Lots of green pepper with slightly tweaky acidity. Time to drink this 2008.
