Delas Hermitage Les Bessards - 2014 (750ml) Joel 5 and a touch of grassiness94 Points, Wine Advocate The inky colored 2014 Hermitage les Bessards (100% Syrah aged 18 months in 30% new barrels) is up with the top wines in the vintage. Deep, rich and concentrated, with beautiful crushed rock like minerality, liquid violets, cassis, and black raspberry aromas and flavors, it's medium to full bodied, impeccably balanced and has building, ripe, polished tannin. This beautiful wine will keep for two decades or more.
