This is a bit firmer than the Combottes with even more evident minerality on the delicious

with a gorgeous

expansive and broad wine of striking inner perfume and sweetness

This delivers all that in spades

Guigal, Ermitage Ex Voto other_regions powerful entryThe 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.
