Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru--Vintage 2005
6 bottles per lot
Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru--Vintage 2005 Côte de Nuits. Domaine-bottled: Nicolas Potel In original wooden case Tasting note: Aromas of bright red raspberry and red currant and herbal distillates inform the nose of the Potel 2005 Bonnes-Mares. Remarkably smooth and polished on the palate, offering a scintillating display of smoked, peppered meats, tart berries, pungent tobacco and bitter-sweet liquorice, this finishes with unusual elegance, refinement and buoyancy for a Bonnes-Mares, not to mention for a wine of such sheer intensity. As with so many of the best of Potels 2005s, there are certainly ample tannins, but these are exceedingly refined and unobtrusive. I suspect that this is hiding significant incipient complexity and would plan on giving it a decade or more to evolve. Wine Advocate 171, June 2007 6 bottles per lot
