Hermitage Les Bessards Delas 1990 is a single-vineyard Syrah from the Northern Rhône, exclusively sourced from the esteemed Les Bessards lieu-dit. The 1990 vintage is acknowledged for its ideal growing conditions, resulting in a wine of notable structure and depth. Aged in oak barrels, this bottling presents a complex array of aromas, featuring dark fruits, smoked meat and earthiness, complemented by hints of spice.

Given the small production of most high-end northern Rhône wines, it isn’t that often that one gets the chance to drink one at full maturity, and this Hermitage was a remarkable example of just how complex and captivating this appellation’s wines, from a great year like 1990, can be at their peak, showing intense, pure dark fruit and floral character, mineral and spice nuances and Syrah’s typical smokiness. Delas owns a relatively massive seven hectares of this, one of the Hermitage hill’s prime vineyards, so finding younger versions of this wine (current examples are consistently superb) should be relatively easy.Josh Raynolds1st January 2019
