{"product_id":"2011-delas-freres-les-bessards-hermitage-magnum-1-5l","title":"Delas Frères Les Bessards Hermitage Magnum 1.5L 2011","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a review of the Delas Frères Les Bessards Hermitage Magnum 1.5L 2011, one of the top-rated wines of its vintage. It is made from 100% Syrah grapes and has been aged for 16 months in 70% new French oak barrels. The wine has an inky purple colour and a rich, pure aroma of smoked earth, ground pepper, underbrush, and licorice, complemented by black raspberry and cassis-styled fruit notes.\n\nThe Delas Frères Les Bessards Hermitage Magnum 1.5L 2011 comes in a magnum-sized bottle, which holds 1.5 litres of wine. This larger bottle size offers several advantages over a standard 750 ml bottle. Firstly, it allows for a slower and more even aging process as there is less oxygen contact with the wine due to a smaller surface area-to-volume ratio. Secondly, the magnum bottle size is known to enhance the wine's aromatics and flavour profile, resulting in a more complex and refined wine. Finally, it is perfect for sharing with friends and family during special occasions.\n\nOverall, the Delas Frères Les Bessards Hermitage Magnum 1.5L 2011 is a fantastic wine that defies the vintage stereotype with its exceptional quality and structure. While it may require some short-term cellaring to fully appreciate its complexity, it is well worth the wait.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Delas Frères","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45631047172344,"sku":"925","price":699.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/2712\/5752\/files\/2011-delas-freres-les-bessards-hermitage-magnum-1-5l_6b85ed47-2cd7-4e15-b5fc-3b4cb2584d38.webp?v=1737986095","url":"https:\/\/checkout.reservecellar.com.au\/products\/2011-delas-freres-les-bessards-hermitage-magnum-1-5l","provider":"Reserve Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
