Dense and compact

and sweet red berry fruit add to the wine's stunning allure

A brooding and restrained nose of notably cool red currant

and with impressive power and grip on the long finish

JL Chave Selection, Hermitage Farconnet Vintage:2017 Dense and compactThis shows mature notes, with espresso and warm cocoa melding into the mulled plum and blackberry fruit, while sauvage notes of tapenade, charcoal and bay leaf fill in on the finish. An underlying iron accent creeps along throughout. Hitting its stride already, but will hold in the cellar a bit. The debut bottling for Hermitage from Chave's ngoce portfolio. Drink now through 2020. 200 cases imported. JM
