Bonnes Mares 2005 Drouhin-Laroze

Professional reviews

Jancis Robinson (17)

Dark crimson. Very rich and pungent and hedonistic. Rich and solid. A tiny bit brutal. Not quite ready because there is such concentration. Drying tannins on the end. Very solid – the vintage presumably!?

Burghound (94)

A brooding and backward nose is presently revealing little save for glimpses of red and blue berry fruit aromas though the rich, full and sleekly muscled flavors are sappy, intense and powerful, all wrapped in a classy and very pure finish of exceptional length. Despite the reserve, this is impressively constructed and built to age. Terrific and worth a close look.
