Yann Chave – 2018 – Hermitage

Intense and youthful opaque colour. Redolent and layered nose with violet, lavender, raw meat, blackberry, cassis, spice box and incense. Very powerful and structured palate, still youthful but certainly balanced proportions with well-concealed oak, bold dark fruit and spice flavours with a very long and powerful finish. It needs another few years to open but should develop tremendously well.

Tasted by the Best Sommelier of the World, Andreas Larsson.
