and in need of patience

This is clearly built for extended aging and I would recommend not touching a bottle for at least a decade

especially if given a little air

lilac and rose petal along with hints of Granny Smith apples and lemongrass

unless you're young

Francois Bertheau, Bonnes Mares other_regions_australia and in need of patience(from a . 34 ha parcel located in 100% terres rouges). A background hint of wood easily allows the cool and equally pure essence of red currant, plum and violet scents to be appreciated. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the tautly muscular flavors that are also shaped by relatively fine grained tannins on the balanced and lingering finale. This is a Bonnes Mares of refinement and finesse that should age well on a base of balance.
