The score for 2005 Domaine Jean Louis Chave Hermitage is 97 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Jean Louis Chave commented that 2005 was not a “friendly vintage” on release and compared it to 1998, 1995 and 1983 in style. His 2005 Hermitage is nevertheless an incredible wine that shines for its purity, focus and pure class. Offering up lots of granite-like minerality, crème de cassis, violets and graphite, this rich, full-bodied, gorgeously concentrated Hermitage has good acidity, building, ripe tannin and a fabulous finish. While I’d happily drink a glass today, it needs another 3-4 years of bottle age to hit prime time and will keep for two to three decades after that. Additional scores for the wine in this lot - Wine Spectator 98 points , Vinous 97 points , The Wine Advocate 97 points , .
