Delas Hermitage Marquise de la Tourettes 2015  - First Bottle

Reviews

97 Decanter World Wine Awards -
Dark and brooding with a black fruit core and intense coffee bean notes; abundant toasty oak, spice and lovely black olives; very concentrated, powerful and generous with big, grainy tannins and a long spicy finish.
95 Wine Spectator -
This is loaded with well-defined loganberry, blackberry and boysenberry pâte de fruit flavors, flecked with anise and black tea notes and carried by a fine iron streak that lingers wonderfully. A wine of cut, purity and precision. Best from 2020 through 2035. 2,744 cases made, 107 cases imported.
94 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -
A blend of Syrah grapes from several lieux-dits, including Les Bessards, the 2015 Hermitage Domaine des Tourettes is aged in new and second use barrels. It's a dark, concentrated wine, meaty, rich and tannic but with a bright beam of cassis fruit that lifts it and gives it great definition and shape on the palate. Give this medium to full-bodied wine at least 5 years in the cellar and drink it over the next 15.
94 Jeb Dunnuck -
While the Les Bessards gets all the attention, the 2015 Hermitage Domaine Des Tourettes isn't far behind and is unquestionably the value play. Beef blood, cassis, blackberry liqueur and loads of crushed rock nuances all emerge from this ripe, concentrated, full-bodied Hermitage that has a classic, structured profile. It's well worth a case purchase and will keep for two to three decades. As always, this cuvée comes from two parcels, the lower part of the Bessards lieu-dit and the Les Grandes Vignes located at the highest point on Hermitage Hill. It’s completely destemmed and sees 16 months in 30% new French oak.

Delas Freres has been making notable wines since 1835 in Hermitage, but it’s really in the last decade or so that they have hit rockstar status. We added a small parcel of this to our last big Bordeaux order, and it has just hit the warehouse. Normally $96+! An amazing steal that will grace your cellar for decades to come! If powerful Northern Rhone Syrah is your bag, it doesn’t get much better! Only 15 cases to sell --- while it lasts!
