Score 95/100 · Drink 2004-2015, Pierre Rovani, Aug 2001
Magnificent, the dark ruby-colored 1999 Bonnes Mares has blackberry syrup and cassis liqueur aromas. Medium to full-bodied and crammed with freshly laid asphalt, blackberries, Asian spices, licorice, and cassis, it is a huge, chewy-textured wine whose flavors are seemingly unending. This supple, powerful, and thick wine has all the components to insure wonderful cellaring potential. Projected maturity: 2004-2015. Bravo!
