95 JG "The 1996 Domaine Dujac Bonnes-Mares is a beautiful wine that is now starting to drink with great style, but it is still early on in its long life in bottle and the wine may be even better further down the road. Today, the bouquet is pure and vibrant, offering up a complex blend of cherries, beetroot, woodsmoke, gamebird, a touch of mustard seed, a very complex base of soil tones, cocoa powder and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and beautifully delineated, with a fine core, excellent backend mineral drive, moderate tannins and a long, tangy and complex finish. It is hardly a crime to be drinking this beautiful wine today, but it has many, many decades still to go and my gut instinct is that another decade from now will being even more magic in the glass." 90 AM Big and robust yet remarkably elegant earthy pinot fruit with lovely complexity gives way to rich, pure, detailed, gorgeously intense flavors of considerable distinction and excellent length.
