Lot 207 Details
E. GUIGAL ERMITAGE EX-VOTO 2018 (1)

Rhône.
marked & scraped label.

Still in barrel, the 2018 Ermitage Ex Voto continues to impress. Brown sugar notes accent cherries and raspberries on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is lush and expansive, delivering waves of pleasure on the mid-palate before ending long and silky. February 2022 Drink to 2040 WA (95-97)

M. CHAPOUTIER ERMITAGE L'ERMITE 2000 (3)

Rhône.
u. 3 x 1 cm. 3 x scraped & marked labels.

While it never possesses the power and breadth of flavor of Le Meal or Le Pavillon, l’Ermite appears to be a hypothetical blend of Bordeaux’s Lafleur and Ausone as it always displays a certain austerity early in life. The extraordinary 2000 flirts with perfection. A provocative wine with great minerality, finesse, and delineation, it blew me away when I tasted it from bottle. June 2003 Drink to 2035 WA 99

4 bts.    per lot $800 - $1,000
