Earthy black fruits and licorice can be found in the aromas of the 2002 Bonnes Mares. Broad, deep, lush, and softly-textured, this medium-bodied wine is seductive, concentrated, and reveals a long, suave finish. Projected maturity: 2006-2016.

Dark red-ruby. Knockout nose of blackberry, black raspberry, roasted plum, smoke, mocha and underbrush. Concentrated, sweet and penetrating, with a powerful underlying structure currently dominating the wine's dark berry and wild herb flavors. Finishes with big but ripe tannins and superb persistence. Very impressive.
