E. Guigal
Ex Voto Hermitage Syrah
Hermitage, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Deep, glass-staining ruby. Deep-pitched aromas of cherry liqueur, blackberry, fruitcake and incense on the highly perfumed nose. Stains the palate with vibrant black and blue fruit liqueur, allspice and violet pastille flavors, enlivened by a smoky mineral nuance that builds with aeration. Shows a suave blend of richness and vivacity, and no rough edges. Spicy and expansive on the strikingly long, sappy finish, which features resonating dark berry character and youthfully chewy tannins. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, April 2020)

Zoom tasting with Guigal. Still a baby. Vanilla and bread on the nose, powerful and juicy spices, black olives.
