Guigal Ermitage Ex Voto - 2007 (750ml) Wine and a hint of almonds

and a hint of almonds from the stone of the fruit

complemented by hints of dark chocolate

Finishes with light smoky notes and hints of dried green herbs

and subtle background toast/vanillin

always one of the best bargains from the south

Guigal Ermitage Ex Voto - 2007 (750ml) Wine and a hint of almondsAnother perfect wine, the 2009 Hermitage Ex Voto is surprisingly supple and more approachable than the two single vineyard 2009 Cote Roties, La Turque and La Landonne. The massive Ex Voto boasts abundant notes of spring flowers, blackberries, cassis, licorice, graphite and forest floor. Extremely full bodied with sweet tannin and levels of extravagance and flamboyance that are mind boggling, it will drink well for 30+ years. Robert Parker 100 points
