Tasting Notes | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
A cool, pure, airy and restrained nose combines a really lovely spiciness with overtly floral notes on the aromas of black raspberry, wild strawberry and exotic Asian tea. The super-sleek and utterly delicious middle weight flavors offer excellent power and drive while displaying outstanding length on the intensely saline-inflected and youthfully austere and exceptionally firm finish. This robust effort is not a monster of concentration, but I really like the balance. Score: 95 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2038+ 10 January 2021 |

The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Aux Malconsorts 1er Cru has the most cerebral nose of any Cathiard Premier Cru, scents of black fruit intermingling with ash, sous-bois and light iodine scents. It also seems the most mercurial in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with filigreed tannins, unerring symmetry and a killer sense of symmetry that is utterly beguiling. It is endowed with the backbone one expects from a Malconsorts and a persistence all of its own. Heavenly. Score: 96 - 98 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2025-2055 01 November 2019 |

Exceptionally intense purple. The nose is reserved but shows power and class, Impatient to put the wine in the mouth. This has impressive shoulders, an absolutely complete mouth and a fine thread of acidity to retain what is seemingly the characteristic freshness of the vintage. I detect a little wood tannin note at the back which will soon integrate. Score: 93 Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy 01 November 2019 |
