2015 Domaine Sylvain Cathiard, Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru, Aux Malconsorts 1x75cl

Wine Advocate 96-98

The 2015 Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts has just a little less new oak than the Les Suchots this year. The aromatics are more backward and recalcitrant than the Les Suchots and demanded more coaxing from the glass. There is a sense of depth to the fruit, almost an opacity that suggests the fruit will only gradually open up. It was difficult wrenching your nose away from the glass! The palate is beautifully balanced with succulent fleshy tannin, voluminous in the mouth with immense concentration counterbalanced by a keen line of acidity. Very persistent in the mouth, this will be immense once in bottle. Cellar for as long as you can. [Neal Martin, 30/12/2016]
