title: Tardieu-Laurent 2013  Hermitage
description: The distinctive oak regime at Tardieu-Laurent works better with some wines and in some vintages than others. This Hermitage, from an irregular vintage, has taken to it well, combining muscle and tannin with a rich, luxurious mouthfeel and bold flavors of mulberries, espresso and baking spices. Drink 2020–2030.
variety: Syrah
