"The 1996 red Chave Hermitage possesses the vintage's tangy acidity,as well as a saturated ruby/purple color and copious quantities of smoke,cassis,fennel,and minerals in the moderately intense,still young aromatics.The wine displays beautiful balance,outstanding purity,and a medium-bodied,rich,elegant personality. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2030".

"A late vintage that's compared to 2013 by Jean-louis,yet that carried more crop,the 1996 Hermitage is a juicy medium-bodied effort that's ready to go.Giving up classic herbed game,bacon fat and sweet fruit,it should continue to evolve gracefully,but there's no reason to hold off here".

At a dinner party in December 2012,this characterful,balanced and long wine was unanimously voted by all those present as the best red wine (out of six,including a First-Growth claret) of the evening.
