Allen Meadows Burghound 93

2006 Sylvain Cathiard Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts (France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru) Burghound, 1/1/2009, 1st Quarter, 2009, Allen Meadows (web) 93 A gorgeously layered and deep nose of spicy, and once again notably cool black pinot fruit seems to offer up a different nuance with each examination and serves as a classy intro to the supple, rich, round and strikingly pure mouth coating flavors brimming with dry extract on the hugely long finish that exhibits serious power. This is a big yet refined wine that remains the current reference standard for Malconsorts though, happily, there will be more serious competition going forward with Domaines Dujac and de Montille coming to the party. Impressive but note that patience will be required. (drink starting 2016)

Stephen Tanzers International Wine Cellar 93

2006 Domaine Sylvain Cathiard & Fils Vosne Romanee Aux Malconsorts Good full red. Darker fruits on the nose, complicated by minerals, violet and sweet oak. Rich and silky but at the same time minerally and firm; boasts impressive volume and texture but comes across as almost weightless. Finishes tight and youthfully closed, with superb mineral energy and toothcoating tannins. Lovely already but this should really be held for five or six years. 93
