title: Delas Frères 1999 Les Bessards  (Hermitage)
description: Old vines in the Les Bessards vineyard on the Hermitage hill have offered up a majestic wine that has considerable power. With its strong, firm tannins and intense, brooding dark fruits, this is a wine that has obviously been made to last. With little use of new wood for this wine (only 10%), the structure and the complexity come entirely from the enormously ripe fruit and traditional fermentation.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
designation: Les Bessards
