Hermitage Rouge 2000 from Domaine Jean-Louis Chave is a Syrah from the Northern Rhône presented in magnum. The 2000 vintage was forward and fruit-driven, resulting in a wine of great charm and textural silkiness. Sourced from several heritage parcels, the wine displays notes of raspberries, wild herbs, white pepper and crushed granite. The magnum format has preserved a surprising level of primary fruit energy while allowing the development of subtle notes of forest floor and sandalwood.

Vinous
Saturated ruby. Superripe aromas of blackberry, blueberry, clove, minerals and black licorice. Very ripe but precise and penetrating. At once lush and powerful; seamless but with terrific thrust. Black fruit, flint, spice and dark chocolate flavors offer considerable density and verve. Finishes with substantial noble tannins that arrive very late. Has all the elements for longevity. Give this 10 to 12 years before pulling the cork. This comes across as a bit denser than the young 2001 but not finer. The Chaves clearly did a superb job of harvesting in 2000.Stephen Tanzer1st January 2003
