Delas Herm DD Tourettes 19 750ml
- Color: Deep, inky garnet with purple highlights, showcasing youth and intensity.
- Aroma: Aromatically profound, with layers of black fruits such as blackberry, black cherry, and plum. Complementary notes of violet, licorice, black pepper, and smoked meat are interwoven with subtle hints of leather, graphite, and toasted oak.
- Palate:
- Body: Full-bodied with a concentrated and velvety texture.
- Fruit: Dense black fruits dominate, underscored by hints of blueberry and cassis.
- Complexity: Nuances of spice, earthy minerals, and savory herbs, alongside touches of dark chocolate and espresso.

Aging Potential:
The 2019 vintage is a powerhouse wine that can be enjoyed young for its boldness and vibrancy but will greatly reward cellaring over 15–20+ years. Over time, it will develop more complex tertiary notes, such as truffle, dried herbs, and forest floor.
Food Pairing:
Pairs excellently with:
- Grilled or roasted red meats (e.g., lamb, venison, or ribeye steak).
- Braised dishes, such as beef short ribs or coq au vin.
- Rustic French dishes like cassoulet or duck confit.
- Aged cheeses, including Comté, Gruyère, or Roquefort.
Delas Hermitage Domaine des Tourettes 2019 is a wine of exceptional elegance and power, offering a quintessential expression of Hermitage's granite-rich terroir. It's a must-try for enthusiasts of Northern Rhône wines or collectors seeking a timeless and iconic Syrah.
