This is good stuff that will drink earlier than most examples of Clos de Bèze if desired yet one that should also age reasonably well too over the medium-term

Delas, Ligne de Crete Les Grandes Vignes Brut Zero 52 ha parcel of 50+The vibrancy of the elderberry aroma on the nose of this Hermitage masterpiece is breathtaking, the palate amazingly concentrated and incredibly focused. A wealth of super fine tannins and intense, stony minerality are married to the pure berry fruit at the extremely long and precise finish. The fourth vintage of this wine and one of the high points of 2018 in the Rhone! Drink or hold.
