2005 Guigal Ex Voto

“Made in a completely different style, the colossal 2005 Hermitage Ex-Voto is pure power, muscle, and concentration. Its inky/purple color is accompanied by an extraordinary, precise nose of creme de cassis, smoke, charcoal, incense, and spring flowers. Full-bodied with outrageous concentration, good acidity, noble sweet tannin, and a 60-second finish, this wine requires 5-6 more years of bottle age, and should drink well for 30-50 years.” - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate

The 2005 Guigal Ermitage Ex Voto (95-98 WA) is certainly a wine for the ages – rich, concentrated, perfectly balanced, chock full of fruit, mineral, and of course a hint of garrigue. Vinfolio has just received another allocation of this not-to-be missed phenomenal wine that is considered an asset to any serious cellar. Vinfolio also recommends the following treasures from this powerhouse of the Rhône Valley:

2003 Guigal Côte-Rotie Château d’Ampuis (96 WA) – “…This is staggering …The wine has a deep ruby/purple color and an extraordinary nose of smoky bacon fat and roasted meats, tapenade, black raspberry, cherry, and cassis. The intense aromatics are followed by equally thick, unctuous flavors with huge body, a voluptuous texture, and yet wonderful freshness, purity, and length. This is an amazing wine …This wine should evolve for 20 or more years, but will never be undrinkable.” - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate

2005 Guigal Côte-Rotie La Landonne (100 WA) – “Utter perfection, …Incredibly dense and masculine with unreal levels of concentration, and beautifully integrated tannin, acidity, and oak, this remarkable 2005 may turn out to be the longest-lived La Landonne since the debut vintage of 1978 (which is still going strong). - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate

2003 Guigal Ermitage Ex Voto (100 WA) – “…ts off-the-chart richness, full-bodied, powerful, and amazing creme de cassis flavors along with truffle, crushed rocks, and acacia flowers, are utterly profound. This is one of the great Hermitages and it should last for 50-100 years. Just amazing.”- Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
