Exceptional vintage 1969 Bonnes Mares Vogue is a charmer. Mellow fragrant, wild cherry touch of orange, black tea, some gentle and charming sweetness but not much opulence. Ginger biscuit, cedar wood, Mineral backbone on the palate, ‘malty’ on both the nose and palate. Pleasing finish. Overall a very good- fine wine, but missing some power. Not concentrated considering 1969 was rated as an excellent vintage, no control yield back in the days? Fully mature but no rush in drinking them soon. (90/100)

Completely delicious. Very similar to a 64 or 71 Bartolo Mascarello. More dark fruits, perhaps a little less complexity. This is a delightful wine, with a slightly port-like nose mixed with dried plum. Hard to put my finger on teh right description, but don't miss it if you get the chance. No sign of decline at all.
