Jean-Louis Chave Sélection Côtes du Rhône Mon Coeur 2020 $25 (90 points)

A generous, ripe red, with blackberry puree, sappy black licorice and violet notes that are round and supple on the palate. Gains balance from a refreshing beam of singed thyme and iron, while the finish is tied up nicely with firming, mesquite-tinged tannins. Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2025.
