the palate has never disappointed either

This is already very promising

displaying impeccable delineation and purity

earthy minerality that gives a rich foundation for the firm

but there's amazing finesse and refinement to the texture

Guigal Cote-Rotie d'Ampuis - 2005 (750ml) Size:750ml the palate has never disappointedAnother perfect wine, the 2009 Hermitage Ex Voto is surprisingly supple and more approachable than the two single vineyard 2009 Cote Roties, La Turque and La Landonne. The massive Ex Voto boasts abundant notes of spring flowers, blackberries, cassis, licorice, graphite and forest floor. Extremely full bodied with sweet tannin and levels of extravagance and flamboyance that are mind boggling, it will drink well for 30+ years. Robert Parker 95+ points
