Sylvain Cathiard, Vosne Romanee Orveaux Vintage:2002 a welcome sprinkling of cracked

a welcome sprinkling of cracked black pepper and an off-dry finish that feels long and persistent

The palate is much better and more expressive with tangy marmalade and quince notes

perfumed red berry notes to this medium-bodied vintage of Colombier's Hermitage

an unctuous texture

Sylvain Cathiard, Vosne Romanee Orveaux Vintage:2002 a welcome sprinkling of cracked(from a . 30 ha parcel of 55+ year old vines). Here there is no such reductive funkiness as a cool and airy nose offers up notes of Asian style tea, spice, lavender and red and dark currant scents. There is an equally cool character to the vibrant, intense and stony medium bodied flavors that possess more volume than those of the Reignots before terminating in a wonderfully long and impeccably well balanced finale. This isnt as refined as the Reignots
