Bonnes Mares 2005 Jadot

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (94)

Meaty and alkaline notes mingle with the more typical brambly black raspberry, horehound and concentrated herbal side of the Jadot 2005 Bonnes Mares. Intense, pungent berry and herb concentration along with underbrush on the palate lead me to imagine that the thorns will draw blood. The hugely concentrated, torrential finish preserves a very tart berry freshness, medicinal herbal pungency, black tea bitterness, and deep meatiness. This is neither for the faint of heart nor for those seeking comfort or charm. Lock it up for 12-15 years.

A powerful, backward red, packed with black cherry, black currant, raspberry, iron and wild berry notes accented by briar and tobacco. It's backed by a wall of tannins, but what's most impressive is its freshness and energy.
