The red wine Hermitage, vintage 1997 from the winery Domaine Jean-Louis Chave has been rated in 2011 with 94 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Syrah from the region Tournon-sur-Rhône in France.
Medium carmine-garnet in colour, with a broad rim brightening. Ripe berry jam, hints of cranberries, dried herbs and some fine peppery nuances on the nose, which imparts a subtle sweetness. Juicy and elegant on the palate, it's already ready to drink with a core of creamy Syrah fruit. Classic nuances of oranges, perfectly integrated yet vivid tannins, and cherries in the aftertaste. This shows an almost Burgundian character, with good ageing potential.
