Sylvain Cathiard Vosne-Romanee 2022

Sylvain Cathiard built a fearsome reputation through the 1990's and early 2000's for producing some of the greatest wines of Burgundy. His ability to marry fragrant and perfectly ripe grapes with expertly chosen new oak set the standard at the time. While the wines were more approachable than his peers, they also had the requisite components to age and evolve gloriously for many years. Now under the stewardship of his son Sebastien, the wines have gained even more acclaim and are equally as well built for an envious evolution in the cellar.

Other Reviews....
A very Vosne-like nose is comprised by notes of plum, violet, exotic spice and a whiff of jasmine tea. The caressing and seductively textured medium weight flavors tighten up on the dusty, firm and balanced finish that is already quite complex. Even so, this is sufficiently structured to need at least 5 years of keeping before it will be reasonably approachable. Drink through 2030+.
