The 2011 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is surprisingly reticent on the nose, perhaps suffering a little bottle shock. It is eventually possible to eke out pleasant raspberry, pomegranate and mineral notes, but they remain impossibly tightly-wound. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle grip on the entry. It is more approachable than either the 2009 or 2010 (as would be expected) with a hint of salted licorice on the entry and attractive citric notes pushing the minerals forward on the finish.
From the south-east corner so all terres rouges. Firm and animal on the nose. Rich and fruity with the fruit dominating the tannin in this case. Very dense and impressive ? almost monumental. Nothing flirtatious about this 2011! Very firm and lots of?matiere.
