Description
Jeb Dunnuck: Jean Louis Chave commented that 2005 was not a
"friendly vintage" on release and compared it to 1998, 1995 and
1983 in style. His 2005 Hermitage is nevertheless an incredible
wine that shines for its purity, focus and pure class. Offering up
lots of granite-like minerality, creme de cassis, violets and
graphite, this rich, full-bodied, gorgeously concentrated Hermitage
has good acidity, building, ripe tannin and a fabulous finish.
While I'd happily drink a glass today, it needs another 3-4 years
of bottle age to hit prime time and will keep for two to three
decades after that.
