Red raspberry preserves, sage, and horehound, and on the nose of Le Moine 2006 Bonnes Mares lead to a palate impression of formidable viscosity, seamless richness, and liqueur-like, candied impressions of extreme ripeness. Saline and chalky intimations of things mineral and smoked meat notes add welcome contrast, though I find this less dynamic, buoyant, or intriguing than some of the best wines of its vintage. Saouma insists (and not merely about this vintage) that Bonnes Mares is possessed of a uniquely "multi-directional" potential whose discernment or appreciation evidently eludes me. He also maintains that Bonnes Mares needs more time than other crus to show its true greatness, and I won't argue that the present wine seems destined for more than a decade of richness and complexity.

This shows more red fruit than black, with raspberry and currant flavors, along with mineral. The firm tannins are well-buried but make an appearance on the finish. Sweet, supple, balanced and long.
