Made from single varietal of Syrah sourced from three different plots of l’Ermite, Le Sabot and Les Bessards. Aged in oak for 16 months. Medium+ ruby colour with bricking rim. Intense complex and perfumed aroma of cherries, dried roses, incense, spices, leather, hint of sweet tobacco. Medium+ body, lean texture, still in great shape, fruity and vibrant, earthy and smoky red fruit flavours, saline notes, vibrant high acidity, melting medium tannins. Started blossoming after an hour in decanter.

This seems more like a Southern Rhone than a Northern one. Big and bold, with anise. I will try again in the winter, maybe it suffered with the summer weather, although we are on the North shore of Minnesota, 70's.

Annual Wine Group Summer Event - BBQ Brisket at Siggy's (Siggy & Jenny's Place, Mpls, MN): Dark red plus color with a 12mm bricked transition. Splash double decanted. Very earthy, iron, blood meal, purple flowers, Provencal herbs, smoke, dark fruits garrigue, pepper. The palate is medium full bodied with cool dark fruits, blackberry, with blueberry and dark cherry influences, pepper, garrigue spices and dried herbs, nice length and complexity. This is in a good spot and was better on day 2.

Solid Hermitage, dark brick in the glass with a very limited nose. On the palate especially primary fruit. Still quite young in appearance, nice to drink now, but can age further.

Toujours en grande forme. Œil : opacité 5/10, forte viscosité en parois, auréole tuilé Nez après 60 minutes d’ouverture: projection d’intensité moyenne-faible, épices douces rappelant le poivre blanc et le girofle, bois mouillé, mûres, pierre calcaire, terre humide, argile, venaison, fleurs séchées, conifère, beaucoup de profondeur au nez... Bouche : sec, ample, acidité rafraîchissante+, tanins encore charnus et fins, persistance longue et salivante, rétro qui donne envie d’y revenir tout de suite... très bon! Conclusion: encore une très belle ossature ici, les arômes évoluent par ailleurs vers le secondaire / tertiaire. Il n’y a plus de fruits frais ici, sinon de la mûre. Reste deux que nous verrons à honorer dans les 2-3 ans... Conservée en cave passive sous obscurité complète. Bouchon en parfaite condition. 92+

See previous note. Hasn't evolved a whole lot over the last three years – still displays a very pretty nose, but comes across as a touch weedy and shallow for a wine of this calibre. Must admit I’ve lost confidence in any further favourable development, so I would recommend consuming this sooner rather than later. Don’t get me wrong – this is an enjoyable wine – just a little disappointing given price and pedigree.

Delas Hermitage Masterclass with Steven Spurrier (Handford Wines, London): This wine has definitely improved a lot with age and is now showing superb ( Papies 89 in 2013). The color shows its age, very pretty wine, good ripe fruit but soft, elegant , harmonious and with silky-ish tannin. Very good use of oak here. The nose is the peak of of this wine at this stage, Burgundian in a way, pure expression of fruit. This is now marching well into the greatness zone and definitely has a lot of life ahead of it.

Red fruit here - cherry and cranberry. Some pepper and smoke as well as some meaty notes too. Good acidity and resolving tannins but a little rustic. Not quite the depth of the 2006, but streets ahead of the Delas Cote Rotie from 2007. Solid. Drink now with a 2 hour airing or hold for up to 5 years.

Decanted for just under an hour before tasting. Medium purple core, pink rim. Beautiful and complex nose with hints of raspberries, leather, moist soil, iron filings, floral scents, sea minerals and cedar-wood. Still a touch tight on the palate, but seems to have enough stuffing for it to flesh out somewhat over the next few years. Decant or hold (91-93 points).

FW-BYOB-HT#2: ¤FW - Big vocal nose of blackcurrants, plums, bay leaves and some barnyard hay. Knowing what it was I felt a bit disappointment that there weren't any syrah spiciness to be found, but still a very nice and fresh nose. Overall the wine had a great freshness to it. Medium body, with distinct, tart tannins and a really good intensity. A few more years in the cellar and this will probably be a even greater!
