Bonnes Mares, Bouchard Père et Fils 2002

Tasting Notes

Floral hints combine with earth and intense black fruits and lead to stunningly pure, detailed and focused flavors that are powerful and robust yet do not lack for elegance or purity. This is quite masculine in character with length to burn and this will require time to shed its considerable structure as it's presently quite backward. A terrific effort that possesses another dimension compared to all of the foregoing wines. Highly recommended.

Mouth-watering aromas of cookie dough and super-ripe cherries lead to the 2002 Bonnes Mares’s (domaine) lush, medium to full-bodied personality. Sweet, concentrated, densely packed, and plush, it regales the palate with silky waves of red and black cherries that are perfumed with mocha and flowers. This ample, expansive wine boasts a prolonged, fruit-filled finish. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2017.
