Bonnes Mares, Domaine de la Vougeraie 2013

**Note: from vines by the Morey border, 50% of which were planted in 1902; 80% whole clusters**
A background whisper of wood spice adds breadth to the aromas of exceptionally fresh and earthy red berries, rose petal, Asian style tea and a hint of underbrush. There is excellent richness to the muscular yet relatively refined, intense and tautly muscular big-bodied flavors that are shaped by a firm but not really austere core of ripe tannins on the impressively well-balanced and highly persistent finale. Good stuff that should amply repay extended cellaring.
