A fantastic ‘11! There’s obvious terroir signature, and the richness and power of the Bonnes Mares site definitely elevates the vintage. It gains detail and definition with air and the ‘11 greenness dissipates completely after a 2 hour decant, allowing the complexity of its alluring wildness and layers of spiced dark fruit, game, black tea and wilted violets to shine through. The palate shows unusual density for the vintage, with a silky texture, combining power and finesse, concluding with a pure, focused, saline-mineral inflicted finale. Terrific showing for a vintage I generally don’t covet for red burg. The best I’ve experienced along with Fourrier and Mugneret Gibourg. — 3 months ago
