Yann Chave, Hermitage other_regions_italy There is once again excellentIntense butcher's shop aromas, with smoked meat and a touch of VA. Powerful but not overly full in the mouth, the tannins are still chiselled and serrated. Piercing acidity runs through it to a very long, powerful finish. It's ready now, but will age with real interest. Really fabulous, growling and energetic an Hermitage in wolf's clothing.
