Description
Bonnes Mares 1998G. Roumier
2lscl, 1tl
Bottle (2)
"Massively dense in every respect with astonishing concentration of deeply pitched and still 100% primary fruit that complements the compelling, robust and powerful flavors that feature notes of cassis, blueberries, black cherries, minerals and earth, all wrapped in a mouth coating and fantastically long finish. The tannins are massive as well but the fruit is so dense I do not worry at all about the prospects for extended evolution in the cellar. A complete and utterly classic Bonnes Mares." (94pts. Allen Meadows, Burghound #26, April 2007)
"The 1998 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is an intriguing wine. This was completely de-stemmed. Showed extremely well in the London tasting. Here it displays exquisite transparency and detail on the nose, the red fruit infused with undergrowth and crushed stone. In fact, the aromatics outshine the 1999 Bonnes-Mares. The Hong Kong bottles show a slight lactic element, perhaps the oak more marked? The palate is medium-bodied with great precision, just a hint of eucalyptus developing with aeration, “sexy” with a bit of tart towards the “nimble” finish. This is maturing extremely well in bottle, one of the prettiest examples of Roumier’s Bonnes-Mares in recent years." (95 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, Sep 2018)
