Note di degustazione
A good 2002, Guigal's still nicely ruby-colored 2002 Hermitage has evolved, ready-to-go notes of cigar, tobacco, dried flowers and red currants. This medium-bodied, balanced and enjoyable red is best drunk up.

Medium red. Fresh red and dark fruit aromas brightened by a mineral component. Firm, nicely focused and pure, showing energetic redcurrant and cherry flavors supported by tangy minerals and acidity. Finishes dry and focused.
Slightly reduced, farmyardy nose. Definitely northern Rhône Syrah – more classic than 2003 – lots of acidity, pretty lean but clean and brisk and mouthscrubbing without too much tannin. Useful for early drinking. (JR)
(bottled two weeks before my visit) Bright ruby-red. Raw currant, blackberry, pepper, iron, licorice, leather and fresh herbs on the aromatic nose. Juicy, tight and bright; not fleshy but boasts lovely restrained sweetness of fruit. Finishes quite dry and very persistent. An impressive 2002.
