Cellar Tracker January - 2014
Cellar Tracker
Tasted blind. Clean, medium (+) garnet with brown hues. Definitely showing a little age. The nose is clean, developed and medium (+) in intensity, with aromas of dry red cherries, tar, earth, forest floor. The palate is dry, with medium (+) acidity, medium alcohol and resolved tannins. This is a well made wine which is ready and perhaps past its prime. I would not have guessed that it was this old, however, so it showed pretty well.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate October - 1999
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
The 1996 Hermitage is tough-textured, with high acidity, and noticeable tannin. Although pure, with black fruit scents and flavours, it is made in a sinewy, austere style.

Château Domaine Guigal

Domaine Guigal

The Domaine E. Guigal stands as one of the absolute references of the Rhône Valley, both northern and southern. Founded in 1946 in Ampuis by Étienne Guigal, the family house built its reputation on a demanding interpretation of terroirs and a constant pursuit of excellence. Today led by Marcel and Philippe Guigal, the estate embodies a heritage vision of great wine, recognised on an international scale.

Historically based in Ampuis, Maison Guigal vinifies and matures in its cellars all the great northern Rhône appellations, including Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Hermitage, Saint-Joseph and Crozes-Hermitage. The same site also oversees the ageing of the iconic southern appellations such as Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas, ensuring perfect control of the ageing process and a consistent stylistic identity.

Closely associated with Côte-Rôtie, where it produces some of the most iconic cuvées of the Rhône, Domaine E. Guigal is distinguished by wines of remarkable depth and longevity. Dominant Syrah, a touch of Viognier on the Côte Blonde, patient ageing: the style combines depth and freshness and rewards patience. The estate's greatest vintages range from the 1988 wine to the 1999 vintage, taking in the Ex-Voto from 2003, through to the more recent 2016, 2017 wine and 2018.
