Bonnes Mares, Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé 2003

Tasting Notes

A penetrating and exceptionally expressive nose of mocha, plum and spice notes adds nuance to the violet and blueberry aromas and this ripe character continues onto the sappy, mouth coating and supple flavors that are so dense that there is a real weight and opulence on the cassis and black cherry liqueur finish. This is particular in style and will not be for everyone.

Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (21), January 2006

Boasting a nose of great ripeness and freshness, the 2003 Bonnes Mares offers aromas of waxy black fruits and spices. Medium to full-bodied, it resembles liquid silk in both its attack and mid-palate. Luxurious and sensual, this highly expressive wine coats the palate with black cherries and dark raspberries whose effects linger in its tannin-packed, slightly dry finish. Projected maturity: 2009-2020.
