Red wine
Domaine Jean-Louis Chave, Hermitage Rouge 2001
RRP £244
Still burly and fruity, with dried blood and juniper notes to the black fruits. It’s settling down a little at this half-way stage, now medium-bodied, but still ripe and silky on your palate. It’s not hugely long, but is still lively and determined, with savoury leather complexity. Distinctly saline, still quite butch, but engaging. Certainly ready to drink, but give it a couple more years if you can.
