JL Chave Selection, Saint-Joseph, Offerus 2020

Seller: TEBDV 5

Fine Syrah from one of the greatest producers of the Northern Rhone.

Incredible value for the quality. Entering its drinking window now. "Saturated magenta. Smoke-accented aromas of cherry, blackberry, violet and black pepper, along with a smoky mineral touch that builds in the glass. Chewy and focused in the mouth, offering nicely concentrated, spice-laced and appealingly sweet black and blue fruit flavors with a touch of licorice. The peppery quality comes back strong on a long, sappy finish that's shaped by steadily building tannins. (Drink between 2026-2035)". 93 points, Josh Raynolds (Vinous), December 2022.
