October 17, 2018 - The 2015 Delas 'Haute Pierre' opens to inviting aromatics of blackberries and dark cherries which come together with sweet spices, new leather, white pepper and wet stones all taking shape. Medium-bodied and beautifully structured with silky, polished tannins. It continues to impress with its notable concentration of fresh red and dark fruits that carries on through the finish. Overall, this is a lovely showing that shows early appeal as well as fine aging potential. (Best 2019-2030)

March 24, 2018 - Nose captures you straight away with its deep aromas of spices, powerful body with serious tannin structure, 15% alc, but somehow everything is managed well in a balanced way.

August 21, 2017 - Garrigue, pepper and wild cherries here open the nose. On the palate, the wine offers sweet, lushly textured fruit, soft tannins and a bright, crisp, fruity, kirsch and red berry finish.
