Tasting notes
White soils, next to Leroy. Dark crimson. Rich and heady. Sweet and round fruit. Utterly beguiling! Maybe not for the very long term. Haisma is surprised by how rapidly it has evolved in November and early December 2015. Velvety texture. Very forward. Extraordinary. Total charmer. Long. (JR)

The 2014 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru has a fragrant bouquet, orange blossom and tinned apricot infusing the primal red fruit. This is very effervescent. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, very linear compared to other 2014s; it is quite grippy and masculine with a structured, graphite-tinged finish that needs more fruit to develop and counterbalance its backbone. One barrel produced and I expect this to land at the top of my banded score once in bottle.
