Bonnes Mares Grand Cru 2014A discreet application of wood frames very fresh and once again restrained aromas of red currant, kirsch and plenty of earth and sauvage influence. There is good density to the broad shouldered and muscular flavors that possess plenty of that beguiling quality of underlying tension, all wrapped in a very firm, dusty and strikingly long finish that coats the mouth with dry extract. Patience will definitely be required. Country Region: France, Burgundy

for about 2 weeks ※ suppress oxidation

"WINE SAVER" suppresses "oxidation" by setting the inside of the bottle in a vacuum state

Praline and dried herbs give way to floral notes

earth and plenty of Gevrey style character

possess just a bit more depth on the balanced and moderately firm finish

I like the balance and while this should also reward longer-term cellaring in this case it should be approachable after only 7 to 8 years of aging

profile on the palate

The nose is expressive and opens on note of citruses (grapefruit)

humus and underbrush with those of wild dark berry fruit aromas
