Sylvain Cathiard Vosne-Romanee "Aux Malconsorts" 1er Cru 2016

There is just enough reduction to mask the underlying fruit but not the floral and spice nuances. Otherwise, the dense, powerful and robust full-bodied flavours possess both super energy and minerality before delivering huge length on the balanced, austere and very tightly wound finale. This stunner is a classically styled Malconsorts that is made in a 'buy and forget you own it' style.
