2017 Domaine Sylvain Cathiard & Fils Vosne Romanee Les Suchots 1er Cru

Other Reviews....
The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru, matured in 57% new oak (Sébastien Cathiard and I did the math!), has a slight reduction on the nose, but underneath lies tightly coiled brambly red fruit mixed with stony, almost flinty aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth entry, and silky from start to finish, offering candied red berry fruit laced with blood orange and a hint of soy. Very harmonious and long, this is an accomplished Les Suchots for long-term aging.

A whisper of wood can be found on the very ripe and beautifully layered array of red currant, Asian-style tea, lavender and violet aromas. The medium-bodied flavors are rich, intense and relatively robust with excellent depth and drive on the austere, backward and strikingly long finish. This beauty possesses outstanding potential but patience is indisputably required.

Bursting from the glass with lavish aromas of ripe cherries, raspberries and cassis that mingle with nuances of smoked duck and rich soil, the 2017 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots is full-bodied, broad and dramatic, with a fleshy attack, considerable depth and volume at the core, and a long, succulent finish. This is an immensely seductive Suchots.
