2004 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Saint-Joseph

"Now, back to the real world." said Jean-Louis. Deep red color. Sweet, expressive red berry nose with notes of graphite and licorice. Supple on the palate, with good energy provided by sound acids. The raspberry and wild strawberry flavors are complicated by a note of graphite. A wonderfully elegant, precise St. Joseph that offers concentration without undue weight.
