100 % Syrah fra gamle vinstokke fra nogle af de bedste parceller på Hermitage bjerget, fadlagret 40 måneder på små nye fade. Hermitage er korsriddernes dominerende lille bjerg lige øst for Tain L’Hermitage opkaldt efter eneboeren (ermite) Sterimberg. Et virvar af forskellige terroirs på 140 ha danner baggrund for de flotte og komplekse vine med de bedste marker længst mod vest. Prøv at køre eller gå en tur til toppen og spis den medbragte frokost ved det lille kapel og nyd den storslåede udsigt.
Dyb, mørk, kødfuld og kompleks næse med mørke bær, sorte, oliven, lakrids, tjære, tobak og medicin. Powerfull smag med tætpakket mørk frugt og markante tanniner. Meget lang mineralsk finish med toner af lakrids, peber, sorte oliven og læder.
Vinens intensitet stiller store krav til maden. En helt simpel blodrød ribey fra grillen med masser af peber vildt være fint. Meget kraftige vildretter går også godt eller drik vinen solo.

Guigal er verdens bedste vinmager iflg. den amerikanske presse. Vi er DK's ældste importør af Guigal og har importeret rødvinene med stor succes siden 1988. Kongen af Côte Rôtie og den største jordbesidder i det nordlige Rhône. Mest kendt for de røde vine, men laver en bred vifte af spændende kvalitetshvidvine.
"Husker stadig vores første besøg, hvor den gamle Etienne Guigal stadig var med. Vi havde smagt vin hele dagen og spyttede naturligvis ud, når vi smagte vinene. Da jeg så kom til at spytte Condrieu ud, så gav den gamle Guigal mig en overhaling - Condrieu det spyttede m...

Firm and dry on the end though some big black fruit sweetness on the palate. Lots of tannin on the end.

With richer, creamier and more spicy aromas, this has a very taut, composed and more reserved feel on the nose and palate than many. I love the fine and powdery tannin texture, the heaps of detail and the charming pepper and spice character. A compressed and elegant and more formal style of syrah. This is a very classy wine with great depth and elegance. The impression is of a precise, long and even wine, just starting out on a long ride. Best from 2018 and for more than a decade thereafter.

Inky ruby. Black currant, boysenberry, vanilla and smoky Indian spices on the intensely perfumed, mineral-tinged nose. Sweet, broad and surprisingly energetic for its heft, offering sappy dark fruit liqueur, violet pastille, fruitcake and spicecake flavors that show no rough edges. The floral and spice notes build steadily on a gently tannic, impressively long finish that shows noteworthy energy and mineral-driven tenacity.

The 2012 Hermitage Ex Voto (which I suspect won’t be produced again until 2015) was bottled in January of this year and it’s a big, voluptuous beauty that’s loaded with fruit and texture. Crème de cassis, black raspberries, crushed rocks and a touch of beef blood all soar from the glass of this beauty, which hits the palate with a wealth of sweet fruit, building, ripe tannin and blockbuster length. Liquid Viagra would suffice as a descriptor for this wine, and while it’s already impossible to resist today, it will age effortlessly for 25 or more years.
