E. Guigal : Ex Voto 2012

Wine Advocate-Parker :
The 2012 Hermitage Ex Voto (which I suspect won't be produced again until 2015) was bottled in January of this year and it's a big, voluptuous beauty that's loaded with fruit and texture. Crème de cassis, black raspberries, crushed rocks and a touch of beef blood all soar from the glass of this beauty, which hits the palate with a wealth of sweet fruit, building, ripe tannin and blockbuster length. Liquid Viagra would suffice as a descriptor for this wine, and while it's already impossible to resist today, it will age effortlessly for 25 or more years.
