Tasting Notes

A backdrop of oak sets off the wonderfully expressive, airy, cool and very pure black pinot fruit, plum, violet and anise nuances. There is a firm minerality to the refined, precise and racy flavors that terminate in a linear, saline-infused and highly persistent finish where the wood resurfaces on the linear finish. This is an elegant and understated wine of finesse yet one that should repay up to a decade of cellaring. In a word, lovely.

Score: 92

Sylvain Cathiard’s 2011 Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru aux Reignots, tasted blind in a line-up of 2011 Amoureuses in Holland, reveals a clear color as well as a gorgeous bouquet that is pure and seductive, quite floral in style, with very fine delineation and mineralite. This is generous at the moment, a little showy and seductive but not as nuanced or as complex as the 2010. The palate is medium-bodied and quite chewy in the mouth. There is good extraction here although it is missing finesse toward the finish. Tasted June 2014.

Score: 90
