Hermitage Les Bessards Delas 2009 is a 100% Syrah wine from the renowned Hermitage appellation in the Northern Rhône. This single-vineyard wine originates from the esteemed lieu-dit Les Bessards, where Delas Frères cultivates six hectares on steep granite slopes. The vineyard`s age contributes to the depth and focus of the fruit. Characterised by an inky concentration, the 2009 vintage reflects the year`s warm climatic conditions, yielding wines with a dense structure. Available here in magnum format.
100 Robert Parker
Every bit as profound as the 2010, yet in a more voluptuous, lower acid, hedonistic style, the inky colored 2009 Hermitage les Bessards offers incredible intensity and depth in its black raspberry, toasted bread, graphite and spice-like aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, massively endowed and with a wealth of raw material, it has high, yet sweet tannin and a finish that just won`t quit. Give it 4-5 years and drink it over the following 3-4 decades. Unfortunately, this is made in tiny quantities, but count yourself lucky if you were able to grab a few bottles of either the `09 or `10. - Jeb Dunnuck
94 Vinous
Opaque purple. Heady scents of mineral-accented dark berries, cherry-vanilla, licorice and incense, along with a smoky topnote. Lush and creamy in texture, with incisive, palate-staining blackberry, blueberry and licorice pastille flavors. Silky tannins build on the finish, which leaves behind notes of blue fruit compote, vanilla and exotic spices. This wine is almost shockingly approachable now but is built for the long haul.Josh Raynolds1st March 2012
