Lot #220. Domaine Bertheau Bonnes-Mares 2002

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 94+ JG.
I love the classic personality of the 2002 Domaine Bertheau Bonnes-Mares. The wine delivers superb depth and complexity in its aromatic constellation of black cherries, dark berries, woodsmoke, venison, dark soil tones, fresh herbs and just a hint of the heather to come with further bottle age. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and beautifully balanced, with excellent depth at the core, lovely soil signature, ripe, moderate tannins, tangy acids and excellent length and grip on the still quite youthful and primary finish. This is an excellent wine, but, in proper Bonnes-Mares fashion, it is still several years away from truly blossoming." John Gilman, View From the Cellar, Mar/Apr 2019, Issue #80
Provenance: The Inishmore Cellar
Notes: Torn, damp stained, lightly mold stained vintage neck tags, lightly wine stained capsules, wine stained, lightly faded, nicked, lightly mold stained, lightly scuffed label, sign of slight past seepage.
