    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Sylvain Cathiard, Vosne Romanée, Aux Malconsorts, 1er Cru, 2008

    Richer than the Nuits Murgers but seemingly less heavy, very Vosne, really lacy and silky, bright smooth black cherry, bramble and Victoria plum fruit, notes of plum skin, cherry stone and mineral too, bursting with life and fruit, wonderfully elegant despite its richness, floral and long on the finish.

    ABV:
    13.5%
    94+/100
    Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
    Good medium-deep red. Ripe aromas of raspberry, licorice and smoked meat, with deeper-pitched soil tones adding nuance. Like liquid velvet in the mouth, conveying an impression of huge volume without heaviness. Not showing its treble notes now but this expands in the mouth and explodes on the palate-staining finish. Seems already to be going into a shell; today the Orveaux is more expressive.
