Tasting notes
Sugar-coated red cherries are displayed in the nose of the 1997 Bonnes Mares. This sweet, oily, medium to full-bodied wine is jam-packed with black cherries immersed in creamy mocha. Awesomely impressive aromatically, on the attack as well as on the mid-palate, this wine's dry and tannic finish prevented it from meriting a higher score. Importer: ???????????

Deep ruby-red. Highly perfumed aromas of briary raspberry, kirsch, mocha and minerals. An extraordinarily refined wine with great silky depths and uncanny sweetness. Maintains an urgent, tangy quality despite its great ripeness. Explosive fruit shows amazing persistence on the palate. Fabulous potential.
