2013 Vosne Romanee Aux Malconsorts, Domaine Sylvain Cathiard (Case of 6 bottles in OC)

A brooding and ultra-fresh nose exhibits notably ripe and strikingly complex aromas of dark cherry and raspberry along with violet, lilac and a gorgeous range of spice elements. This is a big and robust effort with excellent volume and mid-palate concentration that delivers plenty of punch and power on the overtly mineral-driven and hugely long finish. While this will be approachable after only 7 to 8 years it will need fully 15 to reach its full potential. Textbook Malconsorts though I stress that there is no point in buying this if you’re not prepared to cellar it for at least 8 to 10 years. 94 points, Burghound
