Chave St. Joseph Offerus 2014 [VM 91]

"Deep ruby. Powerful aromas of blackberry, candied violet and woodsmoke, plus a hint of olive that emerges with aeration. Sweet, densely packed and seamless in texture, offering juicy black and blue fruit and licorice flavors given lift and spine by a core of juicy acidity. Spreads out and becomes spicier on the long, sweet finish, which features subtle tannins and a sexy floral nuance." Vinous 91 Points

"An alluring style, with a whiff of white pepper giving way to sleek sanguine and iron notes that race along, presenting pretty bitter cherry and damson plum fruit flavors. The long finish lets savory and mineral details play out." Wine Spectator 91 Points
