Blend of 60% Syrah & 40% Grenache, dark Ruby color with berry fruit and floral aromas. On the palate flavors of plum and red berry fruit flavors with oak and licorice notes. Fine tannins, medium length ending with fruit and floral notes. Drink now, no further aging benefit.

Have had prior vintages of this CDR red blend, and once again, not disappointed - funky nose with good fruit & tannin structure - lovely wine!

Decent dusty pepper nose. High acid palate. Lacking fruit a bit, but nice with leg of lamb.

A blend of 60% Syrah & 40% Grenache with rich berry fruit and floral bouquet. On the palate sweet plum and red berry fruit flavors with some oak and licorice notes. Soft tannins, medium length ending with fruit in the finish. Nice value!

Inky floral fruit notes and a layer of clean graphite on the nose with a silky texture. Delightful 😊🍷Restrained power….

Always a reliable Côtes-du-Rhône, Delas goes over the top in 2015. Great vintage and huge value - well balanced, fruity and nice mineral notes. Just a whiff of garrigue. Loved it for drinking now or holding a couple of years

Hubby liked but I thought it was just OK. Not fruity at all - more earthy.
