2020 E. Guigal Ermitage Ex-Voto

2020 E. Guigal Ermitage Ex-Voto"Coming from the old Gripa vines, the 2020 Ermitage Ex Voto is a massive, powerful wine offering loads of cassis, graphite, crushed stone, and integrated oak. Full bodied and concentrated, it shows the ripe, powerful style of the vintage with sweet tannins and that classic Hermitage sense of class and regalness." 99 100 Jeb Dunnuck

The palate has elegance and grace with sleek and charming

fresh and focused vintage

this sensational 2002 rivals two of the all-time great wines made at Dominus

green olive and smoked meat

present tannins and terrific elegance as well as purity

and nuanced palate with savory dried herbs and a touch of sweetness

more opulent or more hedonistically stunning on opening than this beauty from veteran Phelps

The most classically structured wine ever from here

It shows more and more forest floor and earthy/leather notes with time in the glass and is a world-class

It really defines the exquisite tension between power and elegance

"There are nine barrels of the 2018 Montrachet Grand Cru (Maison Louis Jadot)

great mouthfeel and a caressing finish that's long and exciting
