Tasting Notes
This is easily the freshest wine to this point with its splendidly complex aromas of mostly red currant, plum and spice nuances. There is a pleasingly rich and seductive texture to the tautly muscular and well-concentrated broad-shouldered flavors where the supporting tannins are seamlessly well-integrated on the serious, moderately austere and stunningly persistent finish. This will need plenty of time but the upside development potential is first-rate. Tasted: Jan 15, 2014. Drink: 2023+

The 2011 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is much more immediate and precocious than the Amoureuses with ebullient blueberry and cassis fruit aligned with fragrant violet and rose petal scents. This boasts a quintessential, intoxicating Bonnes-Mares bouquet. The palate is supple on the entry with a lovely fatness in the mouth. There is a joie-de-vivre and gaiety about this Bonnes-Mares before the finish, which is more tempered and refined. This is a grand cru that keeps you on your toes and is beautifully crafted.
