2014 Sylvain Cathiard, Chambolle-Musigny, Les Clos de l’Orme 6x75cl

Vinous – 87-90

(50% new oak): Good dark red with ruby tones. Slightly reduced aromas of black raspberry, smoke, iron, earth and stony minerality. Juicy, intense purple fruit flavors show a fine-grained texture and noteworthy inner-mouth energy. Finishes with excellent length and lift but the spicy tannins come off as a bit drier than those of the Vosne villages, perhaps the result of the recent sulfur addition. [Stephen Tanzer, 01/01/2016]

JancisRobinson.com – 16

50% new oak. Quite dark crimson. Seriously concentrated nose. Very firm and quite heavily extracted. Dense and a little dry on the end. Very ambitious! Almost bitter on the end.  [10/11/2015]

Anticipated maturity: 2020-2032
