2004 Domaine Sylvain Cathiard, Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru, Aux Malconsorts 12x75cl

Vinous 90

Palish medium red. Raspberry, minerals, flowers and nutty oak on the nose. More aromatic than the Orveaux but still a bit unforthcoming. Then sweet, creamy and pliant in the mouth, with lovely sneaky depth of raspberry and floral flavor. Supple and long for the vintage, finishing with a suggestion of chocolatey oak. I’d give this three or four years in the cellar. [Stephen Tanzer, 03/01/2007]
