2005 Louis Jadot Bonnes Mares
Community Tasting Note
Eric Guido Likes this wine:
94 Points
Saturday, February 21, 2015 - The nose was gorgeous, with notes of wild berry, red florals, herbal mint and dried cinnamon. On the palate, it flowed silky-smooth yet with notable heft toward the close; showing red fruit, blueberry skins and minerals. Brisk acidity kept it driven and lent a cooling, clean freshness. The finish was staying, even though it was youthfully clenched, with notes of blueberry and inner floral tones. This is just starting to enter its drinking window, yet there's no rush.

Three of those four Burgs I had (including this one) showed a lot of upside potential.
Meanwhile, a couple weeks ago I had the Arlaud Clos de la Roche, which was so lush and enjoyable that I couldn't put it down.
