Bonnes Mares, Domaine Georges & Christophe Roumier 1999

Tasting Notes

The nose is still showing incredibly ripe (but not roasted) intense blueberry, blackberry and cassis aromas with concentrated, powerful, intense and gorgeously sappy flavors that just explode on the palate supported by mouth coating tannins, exquisite balance and that certain "presence" that all great wines have. A Bonnes Mares that will age and improve for a long, long time and it's clear that this is flat out superb juice that has that 'wow' factor. While I still slightly prefer the stylistic purity of the '02, the '99 is certainly showier and the underlying material is every bit as good.
