The last bottle of our memorable visit @jeansulpice in Talloires. What a crazy day by the lake with the elaborate and tasty cuisine we were lucky to enjoy. Very happy to see Chave 1999 on the list. I’ve had it in July 2022 in Paris and it made a big impression. You can read my previous note to have the main lines. This specific bottle here showed quite a bit leaner and closed. I expected more texture and complexity. It was less meaty and smoky, with a fruit that never proved as bright. Still a very well made Syrah, more delicate and feminine, but somehow dark and reserved, not revealing its secrets. My companions, who are Chave lovers, did not get the deep emotion they expected. This remains a good experience overall, but we always want more. No expectations, no disappointment. One should never expect to drink twice the same wine and get identical emotion. Too many parameters have influence, and not only the wine itself.
