title: Cave de Tain 2009 Gambert de Loche  (Hermitage)
description: With its massively concentrated blackberry fruit framed in ample new oak, this bears a bit of resemblance to some Australian Shirazes. It's mouthfilling but supple, with nuances of Christmas spices like cinnamon, clove and anise that linger on the long finish. Drink 2014–2023.
variety: Syrah
designation: Gambert de Loche
