Tasting notes
Deep red. Pure aromas of black fruits, sandalwood and mocha. Suave, silky and impressively concentrated, with superb volume for the vintage. Strongly mineral but also more expansive than it appeared to be from barrel a year ago. Very long, slow-mounting finish throws off notes of briary berries, mocha and peppery herbs. Both this and the Clos la Roche call for six to eight years of cellaring.

Good deep, bright red, a tad less saturated than the Clos de la Roche. Cool, complex nose combines minerals, menthol, bitter chocolate, fresh herbs and pepper. Thick on entry, then dense but dry in the middle, with highly aromatic herbal and briary notes and a rather muscular palate feel. A classic, perfumed young Bonnes-Mares whose tough tannins will require a good eight to ten years of bottle aging.
