May 4, 2024 - The 2020 iteration of Delas' Hermitage Domaine des Tourettes offers rich aromas and flavors of morello cherries, raspberries, baking spices, licorice, violets, black olives and a hint of bacon. Full-bodied, fresh and with well-integrated alcohol (14.5%), it buttresses its flavors with a judicious amount of oak and plentiful plush tannins. Solid on the mid-palate and long on the finish, this is already drinkable and has the stuffing to ensure a lengthy lifespan. Drink now-2035.

April 27, 2024 - Ripe, rich, juicy fruit. Dry, spicy palate. Firm tannins on the longish finish.
This is good, but lacks polish. Needs some time to sort itself out. -

April 26, 2024 - WS Grand Tour (Walkaround Tasting) (New Orleans): Like many of the wines tonight, I was surprised by the drinkability of this. I have an 09 in my cellar that I thougt needed more time, but maybe not.
This is a more rustic style than some of the other N Rhone wines we tried, but I like it to at way. It has an authenticity. Great balance of fruit and savory. Drink now or hold for more complexity.
