E. Guigal : Hermitage 2021

There’s flattering, toasty cedar atop warm red currant and ganache in this rich red. Salty density builds, with campfire ash, black peppercorn and dried herbs. The finish is salty, long and well-meshed. Best from 2026 through 2040. 2,915 cases made, 50 cases imported.

The 2021 Hermitage unwinds with fragrant red plum, licorice, black cherry and fleshy characteristics. Medium-bodied at most, the 2021 is a distinctively elegant red Hermitage that’s gently framed by ripe tannins. A pleasantly refined finish of moderate length wraps it all up.

Medium-bodied, forward, sweet, and juicy, this early drinking charming wine will be ready to go as soon as you buy a bottle, allowing you to enjoy all of its sweet, fresh character much earlier than usual. Because no Ex-Voto was produced this vintage all of those grapes were added to the blend. Drink from 2026-2035.
