Bonnes Mares, Domaine Bruno Clair 2014

A brooding and much less expressive nose grudgingly reveals notes of both red and dark berries, earth, tangerine peel and spice nuances. This is even bigger and more powerful with its mouth coating broad-shouldered flavors that possess plenty of muscle before culminating in an explosive but tightly wound finish that just goes on and on. This is quite simply terrific but at the risk of sounding like a broken record, plenty of patience will be required.
