Bonnes Mares, Domaine Francois Bertheau

Note:

This isn`t as aromatically spicy as the Amoureuses but it`s more complex with its broad-ranging nose of mostly red berries, plum, floral, earth and underbrush nuances. There is excellent richness to the solidly intense and powerful medium-bodied flavors that possess the same fine depth as the nose on the beautifully persistent finish. I like the balance and the delivery and this should amply reward 10 to 12 years of cellar time and note well that it`s going to need at least 6 to 8 years first.
