2011 Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru, Cote de Nuits, France 750ml

Cloves, licorice, menthol and dark blue/blackish fruit inform the 2011 Bonnes-Mares. A wine that shows little of the early approachability of the year, the Bonnes-Mares is dense, compact and vibrant to the core, all of which bodes well for the future. Readers need to be patient here.
