2016 Domaine Sylvain Cathiard et Fils Nuits Saint Georges Aux Thorey 1er Cru

Around 25% of the production was lost because of frost with respect to Cathiard's 2016 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Thorey. It has an extremely floral bouquet loaded with crushed violets, so Vosne-Romanée like in style. Very ostentatious! The palate is medium-bodied with black cherries and blueberry fruit, strict tannin underneath that segue into with a sustained, peppery and quite penetrating finish. Maybe the showiest of Sebastien's wines from barrel, but you know that this is going to give so much joy once in bottle. Review Date: December 2017
