2016 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Clos Florentin Saint-Joseph

Youthful violet color. Pungent black raspberry and cherry liqueur aromas are complemented by suggestions of potpourri, olive and exotic spices. Silky and expansive on the palate, offering spice-tinged black/blue fruit flavors that show wonderful delineation and mineral thrust. Juicy and seamless in texture, finishing with resonating blue fruit, floral character and harmonious, slow-building tannins. (JR) Review Date: September 2019
