Sylvain Cathiard Vosne-Romanee 2015

91/100 - The 2015 Vosne-Romanée, matured in 50% new oak, finished its malolactic in October. It has a perfumed, quite floral bouquet, a mixture of blackberry and blueberry fruit with just a hint of crushed violet. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, a subtle marine influence with a touch of sea salt on the vibrant finish. I expect this will land at the top of my banded score once in bottle. - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate

90/100, Outstanding - A ripe nose of red currant, plum and rose petal is unusually fresh in the context of what is typical for the vintage. There is equally good freshness to the energetic medium weight flavors that possess excellent complexity and punch on the saline and youthfully austere finale. This sneaky long effort is powerful and dense and while it isn't especially elegant, it's a most impressive Vosne villages. - Allen Meadows, Burghound 

90/100 - Rich toasty raspberry nose, flamboyant and expressive for a village wine. Rich and dense with a freshness that is heightened by the touch of gas remaining in the cask, but that will disappear. Has lift and intensity, and remarkable elegance and persistence. - Stephen Brook, Decanter
