What to Expect

Pinot Noir: Responsible for some of the greatest wines on earth - the exhausted red wines of France's Burgundy region. Pinot Noir is a notoriously fickle grape that expresses its origins like no other. It's a vine that needs to struggle to produce great wines but when it does the depth of flavors that range from cherry to cola can be explosive and the wines' bright acidity and gentle tannins make them approachable and widely appealing,

Rating: 93/100 - As reviewed by The Wine Messenger in Issue 18, 2nd Quarter, 2005 This is a very atypical '03 as the elegant, pure and upper register red pinot fruit is as racy and classic as the nose of the '02. The middle weight flavors are punchy and beautifully delineated but not particularly dense and while the balance is near perfect, this is perhaps not as muscular and dramatic as most young Bonnes Mares tend to be. Still, this is a gorgeous wine and remarkably approachable though the balance will permit it to age for years.

Rating: 93/100 - As reviewed by International Wine Cellar in Issue 119, March/April 2005 ($113) Moderately saturated medium red. A bit sullen on the nose today, hinting at medicinal dark berries, tree bark, mocha, earth, singed herbs and chocolatey overripeness. Rich, dense and backward, with sweet fruit complicated by herbs and earth. In a drier style, currently dominated by cool, medicinal tones. Is this stunted today, or is it flat?
