Opened for 4 hours before drinking and this wine slowly developed into a beautiful complex juice with spices and cinnamon. Initially with chewy tannins which mellowed with more air. This was drinking so well.

La Tablee: Bonneau retrospective (Mercerie): More integrated than the babies in the flight. This is still on the younger side. Brawny style of wine. One of the few that I get more of a tannic grip at the end. Give it more time.

Fantastic once again. A bit younger and bigger than my prior bottle from two years ago, but still an elegant, complex, and flat out delicious wine. In its prime drinking with apparently little risk of fading soon. Down to my last few, I’ll be sad when they are gone.

Nice, complex nose of red fruit, strawberries, savory notes, currants, and mint. Rich palate, yet quite refined with flavors of dark berries, fresh cherries, and medium acidity. There's a lingering iron note on the long finish. In a great spot right now.

(Henri Bonneau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Marie Beurrier) Medium red color with pale edges; lovely, surprisingly mature nose of herbs, gravy and lavender; tasty, tart red fruit and cherry palate, with good concentration and acidity and a touch of garrigue; medium finish 93+ pts. (group's WOTF, although I obviously preferred the flight's two older wines)

Simply delicious. Rayas vibes for sure, medium light red, pretty strawberry driven fruit coming through nicely with pleasing acidity. Great stuff.
