An incredibly consistent wine, you can never go wrong with the Domaine des Tourettes release from Delas. Inky hued, with a great nose of pure cassis, crushed rocks, camphor, new leather, and hints of bacon fat, the 2020 Hermitage Domaine Des Tourettes hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a round, layered texture, beautiful depth on the mid-palate, and velvety tannins. Aromatically, it's not far off the Bessards cuvée, yet it's more plush and up-front on the palate. It will benefit from just 4-5 years of bottle age and should have decades of longevity. It's another totally brilliant wine from this talented team.
