Bonnes Mares, Domaine Dujac 1990

The 1990 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru boasts an ethereal and quite profound bouquet that shades the 1990 Clos Saint-Denis poured alongside. It bursts from the glass with red fruit laced with tobacco, mint and rose petal, all with captivating delineation and transparency. The palate offers a candied core of red fruit framed by filigree tannin. This is precise and almost symmetrical in terms of focus, blessed with a sappy, harmonious and quite opulent finish without detracting one iota of its terroir expression – a difficult feat to pull off. Magnificent. Tasted at Tour d’Argent restaurant in Paris. 2018 - 2038
