Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage Rouge 1990 is a fully mature Syrah from the Chave family`s vineyard holdings on the iconic hill of Hermitage in the northern Rhône valley. With prized vineyard holdings in the cru of Hermitage (as well as St-Joseph), Domaine Jean-Louis Chave is the pre-eminent name in northern Rhône winemaking. Current custodian of the domaine, Jean-Louis is, almost incredibly, the 16th generation of Chave family winemaker. "The 1990 Hermitage is fully mature yet holding beautifully. Perfumed notes of sweet cassis and blackberry fruits, rose hips, smoked meats, and exotic spices all flow to a full-bodied, layered, seamless, flawlessly balanced Hermitage that glides over the palate with no sensation of weight or heaviness. With resolved tannins, beautiful purity, and a great finish, it’s unquestionably ready to go, yet should hold nicely for another 8-10 years." Jeb Dunnuck, 2019

Initially rather austere, the 1989 Hermitage blossoms beautifully with a bit of time in the glass as it gains depth, volume and complexity. The aromatics and overall vibrancy are just captivating. As gorgeous as the 1989 is today, tasting it I am reminded of the very simple fact that wines are made to be drunk and not cellared forever. The 1989 is a superb Hermitage, but its time has arrived.
