2007 Bonnes-Mares, Grand Cru, Dom Comte de Vogüé (UK CUST ONLY)

Here the nose is distinctly more reserved with a broad panoply of ripe floral and fruit aromas that include red raspberry, cherry, plum, violet and rose surrounded by warm soil tones that can also be found on the powerful and tautly muscled large scaled flavors blessed with ample underlying reserves of dry extract that render the relatively refined tannins invisible at present on the explosive and exceptionally deep finish where notes of citrus and floral resurface. A seriously impressive wine and I expect this to continue to improve in barrel before it hits the bottle.
