2010 Ermitage Ex-Voto Blanc, Etienne Guigal
“The 2010 Hermitage Ex-Voto Blanc may eventually eclipse the 2009. Although not yet in bottle, it continues to exhibit great pedigree. Surprisingly, it is slightly more exotic than the 2009 (which was a riper, hotter vintage), displaying notes of figs, melted licorice, quince, butterscotch and honeysuckle along with excellent minerality, acidity, fruit purity, density and a full-bodied, powerful, massive mouthfeel with a texture more akin to a red than white wine. This should be a 40-50-year wine.”
98 – 100 points, Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate, December 2013
