Hermitage 2009 Yann Chave

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (94)

Readers with patience as well as cold cellars should check out Yann Chave?s 2009 Hermitage. Classic aromas of creme de cassis, licorice, roasted herbs, barbecue smoke and graphite soar from the glass of this dense, full-bodied, concentrated, moderately tannic Hermitage.

Winespectator (93)

Quite rich and velvety, with a lovely caressing feel to the crushed plum, fig sauce and macerated currant fruit. The floral, white pepper-tinged finish has a dusting of cocoa powder that should be absorbed with modest cellaring.
