Notes:

Possibly the best Chave has ever made?  The 2016 is right up there dazzling spice and concnetration in a well rounded package.  Blanced enough to drink young but will become more pleasurable over the next several years.  Vins Rare 92

Lurid ruby. Ripe cherries and red berry liqueur on the deeply perfumed, spice-tinged nose. Shows impressive power and breadth on the palate, offering rich black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors complicated by hints of lavender and peppery spices. The smooth, gently tannic finish delivers solid punch and repeating red berry and floral notes.
