Tasting Notes

Ample wood sets off very ripe aromas of spiced plum, mocha and subtle coffee that lead to big, rich and powerful flavors that display a muscular, taut and extremely intense profile culminating in a ripe and long finish where another touch of wood resurfaces. This is not particularly elegant though it is lush, generous and mouth coating. The '03 Bonnes Mares will undoubtedly age even though it remains very '03 in style and character. In short, this is perfectly good if particular.

Score: 88

Though Roumier’s holdings in Bonnes Mares are equally divided between the “white” and “red” soils, the latter produced substantially more fruit in 2003, being better equipped – thanks to the water retaining clay – to cope with the heat and drought. Deep, earthy aromas of black fruits can be discerned in its complex nose. Powerful, armed with huge depth, this big, tannic, highly structured wine is dominated by brambleberries and blackberries. Its exceptionally long finish reveals a slight hint of alcoholic heat.
