* Eye : Deep ruby red with violet tinges. * Nose : Spices, red berries and delicate oak aromas. * Palate : A powerful and tannic wine. Aromas of blackcurrant buds and vanilla. A spicy finish with licorice. * Overall : A racy and seductive wine. A perfect wine for putting down.
With viticultural and winemaking philosophies passed on to him by his father Etienne, Marcel Guigal has built his phenomenal reputation as an exceptional winemaker consistently. There is no secret about the wines of Guigal. Their quality comes from the meticulous care and attention lavished upon them. Marcel Guigal believes in low yields, old vines and allowing grapes and the terroir their own freedom of expression with minimal interference.
The component parts of the 2003 Hermitage all merited between 91 and 94 points. Primarily from Le Meal, Les Bessards, and Murets, with a small amount from Dionnieres, this inky/purple-colored 2003 represents a liqueur of black currants intermixed with notions of smoke, licorice, pepper, and spice. This viscous-textured red exhibits superb purity and enormous body. - (92-94) - The Wine Advocate by Robert M. Parker Jr - 12/04
