Hermitage Les Bessards Delas 2019

Delas Frères Les Bessards Hermitage 2019 is a full-bodied Syrah from the Les Bessards vineyard of the hill of Hermitage in the northern Rhône. Only produced in exceptionally good vintages from the Delas family`s oldest plot within Les Bessards, the wine is matured for 12-14 months in new and second-use oak barrels. "Blackberry, tapenade and liquorice bouquet. An intense and savoury expression; mouth-filling and very powerful. The oak is present, helping to rein in the fruit. Mineral core and textured, well-mannered tannins. Layered, long, complex finish; at the dawn of its life and will only improve. Outstanding." Decanter, 2021
