In 20 years' time, when the 2015 Hermitage Cuvee Cathelin begins to reach maturity, I suspect it may hit that triple-digit plateau. The special attribute of this vintage is its remarkable freshness. Soaring aromas of violets, brioche, crushed stone and licorice lead the way, seguing into a full-bodied palate that delivers waves of flavor, paradoxically, without any sense of weight or heaviness. It takes all the power and intensity and balances them with something I can only describe as lift or vibrancy or perhaps energy. Finishing long, silky and crisp, I suspect this will outlive the regular bottling if any of the lucky buyers can resist its siren song.
