(Comte Georges de Vogüé Bonnes-Mares) Deep cherry-red. A brooding nose that mixes red and black fruit, though black is dominant, with a coffee edge. Concentrated and tannic. Starts on full power, a gradual diminuendo is the character of the wine - well it couldn't go higher! - fading very slowly into the finish. It's fully-packed with material and shows great balance. Not a hint four-square, but I wouldn't consider opening this bruiser for at least another 8 years.
