Note di degustazione
(12. 8% alcohol without chaptalization): Healthy bright medium red. Totally different on the nose than the rest of the 2014s, offering aromas of musky red fruits, wild herbs and vegetable matter plus a touch of ripe-year prune without any impression of heat. Densely packed and seamless but a bit unforthcoming. The thick blueberry and blackberry fruit flavors boast terrific concentration but will need years to develop complexity. Finishes with big tongue-dusting tannins and superb palate-saturating length.

The 2014 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru has a candied bouquet with blood orange (like the Clos Saint-Denis) and apricot scents, perhaps just a slight touch of volatile acidity here when compared to Arlaud's other Grand Crus? The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red and black fruit on the entry. This has quite a firm grip in the mouth, for me, perhaps just a bit too demonstrative on the finish and consequently, forsaking a little finesse. On reflection, I prefer both the Clos de la Roche and Clos Saint-Denis at the moment.
