The stunning, dark purple-colored 1997 Bonnes Mares enthralls the nose with its extraordinary baked blackberry aromas. This is a wine of unbelievable power, concentration, and exceptional extraction. Deep layers of cocoa powder-dusted figs and prunes vie with a compote of red cherries, stones, and creamed mocha flavors for the taster's attention. This full-bodied, velvety-textured, sur-maturite-laced wine lingers on the palate for at least 40 seconds. It is a prodigiously breathtaking Burgundy. Projected maturity: now-2012+.
