Domaine Sylvain Cathiard
2014 Chambolle-Musigny "Les Clos de l'Orme" Villages Red barrel
Score: 88-91
Tasted: Jan 15, 2016
Drink: 2021+
Issue: 61
Tasting note: There is enough reduction present to render evaluating the nose impossible. The cool, pure and restrained middle weight flavors exude a fine bead of minerality that adds a sense of lift to the dense yet refined mouth feel before a hint of bitter cherry arrives on the defined and lingering finish. This will need to add a bit of depth but if it does it could very well be a terrific Chambolle villages. Note that this should be approachable after only 4 to 5 years if desired.
