Robert Parker (94)

The 1995 white Hermitage had been assembled and was awaiting bottling. The wine is low in acidity, but fabulously rich, with an extraordinary floral, honeysuckle, peach-like fruit character. With awesome intensity and an unctuous texture, this may be the finest white Hermitage Chave has ever produced. It is powerful and extremely showy at present. Given its equilibrium and overall density, this wine should last 20+ years. Chave said the yields were a minuscule 20 hectoliters per hectare in 1995, versus 30 hectoliters per hectare in 1996 (about one-half the yield of most top white Burgundy producers' Chardonnay vineyards).

This rich, ripe white is packed with expressive pear, melon and almond flavors. Round and voluptuous, with a tropical fruit finish that's almost sweet and great richness married with good balance.?
