2009 Domaine Sylvain Cathiard, Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru, Aux Malconsorts 1x750ml

Vinous 90

The 2009 Vosne-Romanee Aux Malconsorts 1er Cru has a very lively, floral bouquet with a mixture of red and black fruit, incense and iris flower. Fine delineation. The palate is surprisingly tannic and backward, quite an "insolent" Malconsorts, solid and missing a bit of Pinote toward the finish. I have encountered other Cathiard wines with more charm. Tasted at the La Paulee in Beaune. [Neal Martin, 30/03/2023]
