  Really nice wine, with its meaty, olive tapenade,, blackberry and earthy profile. Big, bold and concentrated, the wine has depth of flavor and complexity in the nose, leaving you with a big dose of fruit in the finish.

  Qui a dit que Delas ça vieillissait mal...DOH, EPIC FAIL!!!
  Excellent vin encore sur son plateau, que du bon ici encore une fois.
  De la soie, des violettes et des épices...encore bien long et savoureux, bon et bien fait!

  Superb and well aged beauty...this is very well made and could of lasted another 5-10 years...EASY!
  Superb floral nose, dark fruit with some black pepper and meat.
  The palate is silky smooth and still has loads of fruit with a nice acid backbone. Quite delicious and long.
  GREAT WINE from this great producer once again.

  As wines age, every bottle is differernt. Some are better and of course, some are worse. We got lucky with this bottle of 1990 Delas Bessards, as it was much fresher and more interesting than the previous bottle from the same case. The debut vintage of Delas Bessards offers smoke, earth, minerality, black cherry, spice, truffle, tobacco and tar. Soft, elegant in a masculine sense, ripe, spicy cherries and strawberry complete the finish. This is fully mature. There is probably not much to gainied by holding it any longer.
