Tasted blind at the annual 'Burgfest' tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru displayed the most reduction of the five Bonnes-Mares tasted together, but underneath there are intense black cherry, cassis and truffle aromas that gather momentum in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. This is succulent and poised, very harmonious and elegant, gently building to a very satisfying, mineral-led finish. This is a superb Bonnes-Mares from Henri Boillot.
Bright medium red. Explosive aromas of cherry liqueur, red licorice, wild herbs, exotic spices and sexy oak. Then sweet-verging-on-exotic but energetic too in the mouth, with spicy oak and saline minerality giving lift to the middle palate. Lush but not at all outsized. Finishes with a serious tannic spine and building spice character. This sample stood out as different from the rest of these 2012s owing to its oak element: am I underrating it today?
