E. Guigal Hermitage Rouge 2019

The 2019 E. Guigal Hermitage Rouge is a powerful and classically styled expression of one of the world's most prestigious Syrah terroirs. Sourced from several renowned vineyard sites on the hill of Hermitage, this vintage benefited from a warm and dry growing season, resulting in exceptional ripeness and structural density. It offers a complex bouquet of blackcurrant, cassis, and black cherry, accented by sophisticated notes of leather, tobacco, and spicy oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and robust, showcasing firm but polished tannins and a deep, savory core that is a hallmark of the appellation. Matured for approximately 36 months in oak, it displays great purity of fruit and a long, persistent finish with hints of black pepper and smoke.
