Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru--Vintage 2005
Côte de Nuits. French-bottled: Louis Jadot
Tasting note: Meaty and alkaline notes mingle with the more typical brambly black raspberry, horehound and concentrated herbal side of the Jadot 2005 Bonnes Mares. Intense, pungent berry and herb concentration along with underbrush on the palate lead me to imagine that the thorns will draw blood. The hugely concentrated, torrential finish preserves a very tart berry freshness, medicinal herbal pungency, black tea bitterness, and deep meatiness. This is neither for the faint of heart nor for those seeking comfort or charm. Lock it up for 12-15 years. (93-95 points). David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate #171, June 2007
