Tasting notes
The 1992 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru from de Vogüé is probably just past its drinking peak. Showing modest aging on the rim, it has a slightly herbaceous nose, sage and tertiary aromas infusing the black and red fruit, rapidly turning ferrous in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with an undertow of greenness indicative of the vintages; but this being Bonnes-Mares, there remains a sense of volume in the mouth. It's no shrinking violet, but it cannot shrug off the deficiencies of that growing season. Still, it does offer drinking pleasure - just don't put your expectations too high. Tasted November 2015.
