Domaine Sylvain Cathiard - Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru 'Les Suchots' - 2020

Once again, the nose is wonderfully spicy with its very Vosne aromas of anise, clove, soy, hoisin and sandalwood wisps that add serious breadth to the ripe and liqueur-like black fruit scents. The lavishly rich and opulent larger-scaled flavors coat the palate with an abundance of dry extract that gives the mouthfeel an almost viscous feel, all wrapped in a moderately powerful, serious and hugely long finish. This is a flat out exceptional Suchots and worth a special effort to find. 93-96 Points, Don't Miss! Outstanding Allen Meadows, Burghound
