Delas Hermitage Les Bessards 2010 is a full-bodied, single-vineyard red wine produced from Syrah grapes in the northern Rhône Valley. Only produced in exceptionally good vintages from the Delas family`s oldest plot within the Les Bessards vineyard, this wine is matured for 12-14 months in new and second-use oak barrels. "Pure Hermitage magic, the 2010 Hermitage Les Bessards comes from the western side of Hermitage Hill and pure, gnarly, steep, broken granite soils. It takes time to open up but reveals a vivid ruby hue as well as a gorgeous perfume of red and black fruits, crushed stone, spring flowers, incense, camphor, and burning embers. Full-bodied, dense, concentrated, and powerful, it has thrilling tannins, perfect balance, and a finish that won`t quit. A sensational, heavenly, seamless Hermitage, it can be drunk any time over the coming 30 years or more." 100 points, Jeb Dunnuck, 2022

Vinous
Bright purple. Black and blue fruits, incense and candied violet on the heady, intensely perfumed nose. Sappy, penetrating and pure, its deep black raspberry and blueberry flavors lifted by juicy acidity. Stains the palate and shows uncanny precision for its power. Closes sweet and very long, with youthful tannins and resonating spice and floral pastille notes.Josh Raynolds1st March 2013
