Domaine Sylvain Cathiard’s 2005 Vosne-Romanée is a village-level red wine from an exceptional noughties vintage. Sébastien Cathiard’s father, Sylvain, produced wines with immense power and structural density during this period. This bottle shows a deep core of black plum, cocoa and Asian spice, framed by tannins that remain firm and youthful. Despite the ripeness of the year, there is a refreshing vein of acidity that ensures the wine feels balanced and athletic. It is a brooding, muscular expression that has only recently begun to shed its primary fruit for more complex notes of leather and forest floor. The finish is broad and sustained, marking it as an over-achieving village wine.
