Cave de Tain l'Hermitage

Gambert de Loche Hermitage Syrah 2010

Tough Hermitage competition last night and it ranked slightly behind top producers JL Chave and Jaboulet (La Chapelle). Not quite as long and explosive, but who’s to complain — 2 months ago

Tardieu-Laurent

Coteaux Cornas Syrah 2009

First of a case of 12. Showing well. Deep dark ripe fruit is kept in check by fine tannins and spine if acidity. Still a long way to go. Not the most complex, but honest and balanced. — 10 months ago
