The 2010 Hermitage Ex Voto continues to top out on my scale

powdery tannins and fireworks of fresh acidity and has a very long

I will never forget this once in a lifetime tasting of Felsinas flagship Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia

it is both serious and seductive with the sort of benchmark elegance the château would like to repeat

when many young Ports are exuberant

Jean-Marc Bouley, Volnay Vv other_regions_italy The 2010 Hermitage Ex Voto(from 40+ year old vines situated by order of importance in Les Pluchots, Les Famines and La Gigotte). A much earthier set of aromas includes those of plum, black cherry and tea. There is markedly more volume to the richer and denser medium bodied flavors that also exude a fine bead of minerality on the driving finish. This is a big and not particularly refined villages but it is powerful and balanced. (88 91) 2022+
