1990 JL Chave Hermitage Syrah. Drank with pork chops. Roses, sour cherry, blueberries, lead, ox blood. Decanted over an hour before serving, but it kept getting better through the night. I think I preferred the 2000 Chave bottle from the other night. More complexity to it. Neither of us loved this wine as much as we thought we would, but still delicious. This is definitely a “food wine.” Next time, we should we decant 2-3 hours before serving.

This is an awesome experience that humbles even the most experienced palate. The nose is delicate red and black fruit the flavor is similar with subtle notes of earth mushroom and forest. A virtual nectar of the Gods. At its prime good for 5-10 more years.
