Description
2010 E. Guigal Ermitage Ex-Voto, Rhone, FranceWA 100 | WINE ADVOCATEThe 2010 Hermitage Ex Voto continues to top out on my scale. This extraordinary Hermitage has more minerality and delineation than the 2009, as well as overflowing aromas and flavors of creme de cassis, jammy blackberries, violets, graphite and wood smoke. Massively concentrated, full-bodied, decadent, layered and sexy, it needs short-term cellaring but should be just about immortal in the cellar. |
JL 99 | JEFF LEVEAn extraordinary wine. Even at this infantile stage, it is impossible not to be wowed by what is the glass. Power, concentration, intensity, richness and balance are all in play here. The wine effortlessly coats your palate with layers of lush, smoky, stony, pure, blackberries, currants, licorice, pepper and meaty essences. Texturally, this is off the hook. With all this power and endless depth of flavor, the wine remains a refined, regal character. Energetic, long and expansive, give this another decade and I am sure this will hit triple-digit, rockstar status. |
WS 98 | WINE SPECTATORThis has lavish range, with intense steeped plum, anise, pain d'épices, singed apple wood and fruitcake notes layered together, framed by smoldering charcoal and sweet tobacco accents and riveted to a tarry spine. Expands like a fractal in the glass to display enormous depth and length. Features mouthwatering cut from start to finish despite the heft. An extremely impressive wine that will need some time to stretch out fully. Best from 2018 through 2040. 600 cases made, 120 cases imported. |
