(UPDATE - Nov 4th 10:15am - we regret to inform you that this wine just sold out, much faster than we anticipated - we wish we had more - our apologies for not being able to obtain enough bottles to satisfy the demand) 91 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Medium red. Highly complex aromas of sweet raspberry, dill, brown spices, rose petal, menthol, gingerbread and underbrush. Large-scaled and round but not at all overly sweet. A chewy, rather brooding and youthfully clenched Bonnes-Mares that turns sweeter toward the back, finishing with molten tannins and slightly austere hints of licorice and spice." The good news is that this wine was a bit tough in its youth. How is this good news, you ask? Well, it means we're able to find it now, when it's coming out of its slumber and beginning to show lovely Chambolle-like character. Nicolas got this from four different growers, so it really is a cross-section of Bonnes Mares. If you are looking for a Grand Cru Burgundy for a special occasion, but do not want to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars, here is a value you shouldn't miss.
