Dark, brooding fruit and mineral tension define the 2018 Delas Freres Hermitage Domaine des Tourettes, with layers of blackberry, cassis and cherry liqueur framed by graphite, cracked pepper, grilled meat and a touch of dark chocolate. Full-bodied and powerful yet surprisingly polished, it shows ripe tannins, vibrant acidity and a long, savory finish that promises impressive evolution in bottle.
Roast leg of lamb with garlic and rosemary; grilled ribeye steak; duck breast with blackcurrant sauce

Delas Frères’ Hermitage “Domaine des Tourettes” is a top-tier, 100% Syrah bottling drawn from the south‑facing Les Bessards and Les Grandes Vignes lieux‑dits on Hermitage’s granite slopes; vines are hand‑harvested and the wine is matured in French oak to add spice and structure. It shows concentrated dark/black fruit, violet, pepper and smoky/mineral notes framed by fine, energetic acidity and firm, ageworthy tannins that reflect the site’s granitic terroir.
