Why We're Buying
Guigal Hermitage Ex Voto Rouge lives up to the billing. The syrah, which retails over $300 per bottle, has been the winemaking gold standard in the Rhône Valley for decades. Wine critic Robert Parker has given E. Guigal Ermitage Ex-Voto three 100-point ratings, saying, "at the risk of sounding like a broken record, the 2010 Hermitage Ex Voto is as good as it gets." (Fun Fact: E. Guigal also produces a white version of Ex Voto, which Parker has given two perfect scores.)
Critics Scores
Wine Spectator
A very dense, slightly brawny version, with a mix of crushed currant and warm fig sauce aromas and flavors, liberally framed with bittersweet cocoa and roasted espresso notes. The dark, anise- and graphite-filled finish will need time to settle into itself. Best from 2011 through 2021.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The opaque purple-colored 2006 Hermitage Ex-Voto reveals notes of black fruits, graphite, ink and acacia flowers along with fabulous intensity, a full-bodied mouthfeel, good acidity and high, but sweet tannins that caress the palate. Despite having spent 42 months in barrel, it remains a youthful wine that should age effortlessly for 30+ years. 95+
