Consistent with previous notes. Excellent! In a slow decline, but no rush needed. This was my last bottle, of this domain acquired by Guigal in 2000 and which now produces Hermitage of 200-250 € per bottle.

We drank this bottle after a 2009 barolo, which was not a good sequence. The roaring force of the barolo put the elegant complexity of this hermitage in the shadow, although i believe the hermitage to be the better wine. Very complex, round and a beautifull, fresh finish. Great drinking.

Simply delicious. The bottles seem to vary considerably in quality, this one was in the upper range of what I tasted so far. In need of a bit of air. Strong acid backbone. Complex and a long, slightly dry finish. A perfect time to drink now. No rush needed, but due to variety in the bottles I wouldn’t recommend waiting for many more years.

This was very good. Dark, with a nice nose. The wine itself characterfull, complex, with pronounced acidity. This should be drunk up.
