Hermitage, Les Bessards--Vintage 1997
Rhône. Domaine-bottled: Delas Frères.
In original wooden case
A revitalised house now receiving rave reviews: "The spectacular 1997 Les Bessards is unquestionably one of the vintage's most profound wines. Delas owns 20 acres in what is considered by many to be the finest terroir of Hermitage. Black/purple coloured, with a spectacular crème de casis, mineral, spicy new wood, and floral-scented nose, this full-bodied, blockbuster Hermitage possesses a sweet attack (from concentration, glycerin, and extract, not sugar) prodigious concentration and length, and unbelievable potential. This teeth staining, mouth-coating wine will not hit its prime for 7-10 years; it will last 25 years." 94 points. Robert Parker Oct 1999
