Heiner Lobenberg om:
Hermitage Rouge 2018

99
/100

Jean Louis Chave er med rette det bedste eksempel på hvid og rød Hermitage. Her og der er en Chapoutier imponerende vild og bombastisk, nogle gange er en Ferraton mere velsmagende, nogle gange er en Tardieu mere elegant, nogle gange er en Guigal mere ligetil. Men hans helt uforlignelige elegance og finesse og hans evne til at fremhæve det typiske ved årgangen er uovertruffen. Vinene er altid perfekte og arketypiske. Det, som kun en Clos des Papes i Chateauneuf bringer på flaske hvert år i en idealtypisk form, er Nordrhone Jean Louis Chave. Altid en perfekt demonstration af, hvad årgangen kan vise i sin bedste form. 99/100

Parker om: Hermitage Rouge

Chave's 2018 Hermitage is another in a long list of legends to emerge from this meticulously run estate. Showing remarkably complex aromas of pressed violets, ground cloves and cracked peppercorns against a backdrop of cassis, blueberries and licorice, it's a super effort. Full-bodied, concentrated, rich and velvety in feel, it's seamless and long—just the complete package in a wine that's surprisingly approachable, yet should prove capable of aging effortlessly for two decades or more. 99/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Hermitage Rouge

Lastly, the 2018 Hermitage is still resting in its individual components, and it’s such an education tasting through the samples from Bessards, Péléat, Méal, and Beaumes. In some years, each terroir is easy to see (the spice and complexity from Péléat, the opulence from the Méal, etc.), yet in 2018, the Méal was more structured and inward and the l’Ermite was shockingly opulent and powerful. The crème de la crème was the sample from Les Bessards, and wine doesn’t get any better than that in my opinion. Regardless, all the samples possess incredible quality and show classic, powerful aromatics reminiscent of a classic, almost cooler year paired with massive richness, depth, and structure on the palate. Possibly coming closest in my mind to a hypothetical mix of the 2009 and 2010, this is a legendary Chave Hermitage in the making. 98-100/100

Galloni om: Hermitage Rouge

Opaque ruby. Powerful, smoke- and spice-accented black and blue fruit, exotic spice, olive, cured tobacco, cured bacon and violet aromas show superb clarity and a bright mineral top note. Deeply concentrated and broad on the palate, offering sappy, alluringly sweet cherry, blackcurrant, fruitcake, salty olive and violet pastille flavors plus hints of licorice and allspice. The wonderfully long, penetrating finish features resonating mineral, spice and floral notes and chewy tannins that build steadily. 97/100

Wine Spectator om: Hermitage Rouge

Gorgeously pure, with plum coulis, cassis, cherry purée and blackberry preserve flavors that are finely detailed and interwoven with singed anise, sweet tobacco and warm earth accents, then gilded with a subtle alder note through the finish. Long, very fine-grained and extremely precise. Best from 2024 through 2040. 97/100

Chave-familien har produceret Hermitage i 600 år og er utvivlsomt en af de bedste vinproducenter i verden. Vinene fra den nuværende generation, far Gerard og søn Jean Louis, er kultvine af højeste kvalitet, ekstremt sjældne og svære at finde.
