2014 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru

Allen Meadows' Burghound: A spicy, earthy and fresh nose is more deeply pitched while offering up notes of red and dark currant, violet and plum. Once again there is excellent intensity and underlying tension to the well-defined and tautly muscular middle weight plus flavors that exhibit a hint of bitter cherry on the sappy, dusty, balanced and ever-so-mildly austere finale. This is going to need at least 6 to 8 years first and should easily reward 10 to 12. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2017
