Ermitage, Cuvée Cathelin--Vintage 1990
Rhône. Domaine-bottled: J.L. Chave
Tasting Note: The Cuvée Cathelin, more influenced by new oak than the classic cuvée, is a prodigious wine. Remarkably, the new oak takes a backseat to the wine's superb raw materials. The wine exhibits fabulous concentration, richness, intensity, and length, as well as a mind-boggling finish. It is not superior to the classic cuvée, just different. The Cuvée Cathelin possesses more of an international new oak signature, but awesome extract and potential. The 1990 Cuvée Cathelin should not be drunk for 10-15 years; it has the potential to last for 30-50 years! Last tasted 6/96. Robert Parker, Rhône Book, Jan 1997
