though it is already very classy

This is clearly built for extended aging and I would recommend not touching a bottle for at least a decade

and in need of patience

Note that my conclusion assumes that the reduction displayed by the nose eventually dissipates with age

balanced and refreshingly dry finale

Francois Bertheau, Bonnes Mares other_regions_australia though it is already very(from a . 34 ha parcel located in 100% terres rouges). A background hint of wood easily allows the cool and equally pure essence of red currant, plum and violet scents to be appreciated. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the tautly muscular flavors that are also shaped by relatively fine grained tannins on the balanced and lingering finale. This is a Bonnes Mares of refinement and finesse that should age well on a base of balance.
