Tasting Notes
| Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 93 | |
| Deep, bright red. Blueberry, licorice, violet, menthol and fresh herbs on the nose, with a medicinal reserve. The rather backward medicinal character follows through on the palate, but there's also a deeply seductive, succulent quality to this grand cru's very fresh dark fruit and spice flavors. The building tannins are supported by the wine's lush middle palate. Finishes fresh, stylish and long. | |
| Allen Meadows, Burghound 94 | |
| This too is quite restrained with almost exclusively red berry fruit and intense floral aromas that are high-toned and pure while complementing the supple, textured, dusty and extremely precise flavors that exude a quiet power on the brooding and linear finish that delivers outstanding length. This will require every bit of a decade to resolve the very firm structure. This is less elegant than the 1er but more powerful and the distinguishing character of the '06 Bonnes Mares is the serenity that it projects. I thought that it would be good but this knocks on the door of being genuinely great. |
