Bonnes Mares 2009 Domaine d'Auvenay

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (94)

The 2009 Bonnes-Mares comes across as rather understated at this stage. The 2009 is a sleek, pliant Bonnes-Mares that isn’t ready to show all of its cards just yet. Today the 2009 is surprisingly approachable, but my impression is that it will flesh out considerably with time in the cellar. A recent bottle of the 2002 was still quite primary, so when that might happen is anyone’s guess, but my sense is that patience will be rewarded.
