2014 Delas Côtes du Rhóne



A masterpiece. I like Delas. Liked great years 2007, 2009, 2010. 2011 and 2012 were not so great, but better than many Rhone wines of the same years. Waited for 2014. The wait is over, the wine is great! Complex nose, complex taste. Being physically exausted today, couldn't catch the full palate, but main things are: berries: cherry, chokeberry and something else, can't put a finger on yet; leather, just a hint of sugar and, unexpectedly for a Rhone wine, nose and taste of a lot of flowers. No honey in the taste and nose at the same time.
Was great with veal, mushroom and potato dinner, would buy more (lots more!).
