Tasting notes
Dark, bright red. Musky dark raspberry, crushed stone and flowers on the nose. Surprisingly plush and sweet on entry, then juicy and penetrating in the middle, showing strong menthol and mineral reserve. Tannins clamp down on the finish, which echoes and resounds with purple fruits and flowers. This juicy, penetrating, youthfully tight wine will need long aging.

Full, deep red. Classic, complex Bonnes-Mares aromas of raspberry, brown spices, iron, licorice and noble herbs. Very silky but laid-back on the palate, showing outstanding detail to its berry, spice and garrigue flavors. For such a finely chiseled wine, this also boasts terrific mouth coverage. Finishes extremely long, with a fully buffered dusting of tannins and noteworthy finesse.
Chambolle side below de Vogüé. Sumptuous nose with a bit of refreshing minerality. Lovely juicy stuff with lots of ground in it. Very refreshing and transparent. (JR)
