2001 Ermitage Ex Voto
The first vintage of Ex Voto, and it is a stunner! The nose is deep, mature and creamy with notes of sweet violets, dried strawberries, veal stock and iron. Just lovely. A vert fine dried up sweetness. Earthy.
The taste is tight and refined with notes of undergrowth, blueberry biscuit, iron and some peppery notes. Very, very long. Multi layered. This is really fine. Perfect to drink today and the coming 6+ years.
