Alex Gambal, Bonnes Mares 1999 Cider licorice and chocolate emerging withone bin soiled label 91 Burghound. com While I'm impressed with the gorgeous aromatics and lovely complexity, the wine is a touch slender for classic Bonnes Mares. There is excellent persistent and fine balance but it could use a bit more stuffing. A wine of elegance rather than power though there is enough structure to warrant a decade of cellar time.
