Guigal is not sure whether there will be a 2004 Hermitage Ex-Voto blanc, but we did taste several barrels that may or may not be declassified into the regular Hermitage depending on how they evolve. It is a richer wine, intense, with hints of quince, pears, honeysuckle, and perhaps even white currants and flowers, but I get the distinct impression that Guigal will end up declassifying this into the regular Hermitage prior to bottling.
