Bonnes Mares, Domaine Dujac 2014

Tasting Notes

Interestingly this is almost a combination of the Clos de la Roche and the Clos St. Denis with its ultra-spicy and intensely floral nose that mixes both red and dark currant, spice and earth nuances. There is excellent richness, size, weight, muscle and concentration to the imposingly-scaled flavors that display plenty of minerality on the saline, explosive, impeccably well-balanced and hugely long if notably austere finale. Once again, prepare to be patient.

The 2014 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru was actually one of my favourite reds of 2014, smitten at first sight I guess. It has a very classy bouquet, very well defined and floral in nature. This is elegant and very refined, the exuberant predisposition of Bonnes-Mares discretely contained, buttoned-down for now. The palate is very well defined with lace-like tannin. It feels so supple in the mouth with a touch of cassis towards the deceptively structured finish. This is one of the best Bonnes-Mares that I have tasted from Dujac.
