| BH 88 (7/2005): Discreet, reserved and subtle Vosne spice aromas lead to closed, slightly tough and still quite structured, indeed almost hard flavors that offer good depth and the balance is suspect at this point. Still, there is enough mid-palate density to suggest that this may very well have the stuffing to mature into something very interesting even though it appears to be in a time warp at the moment as it has seemingly not evolved at all in more than 5 years. For the patient AND optimistic. Another recent bottle was very odd as the nose was rather funky with a distinct note of acetone that dissipated with air but never completely disappeared with much more moderate structure than the bottle reviewed above displayed. However, the overall quality was the same as this is a perfectly good effort but certainly not a distinguished one. Drink 2009+. |

BH 90 (5/2007): As elegant and pure as this wine usually is, the '89 doesn't seem to have quite the freshness that it should and while the rapidly maturing aromas are typical, which is to say there is plenty of earth, spice and game, it lacks real vibrancy. The flavors, by contrast, are rich, structured, beautifully textured and complex and the backend offers solid length. That said, 1989 is merely a very good vintage by the superb standards of this wine. Consistent notes.
VM 87 (9/2018): The 1989 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru frankly pales against the majestic 1990. It feels a little under-nourished on the nose, a vein of greenness that cannot be ignored. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly coarse tannin, improving midway towards the rigid, menthol-tinged finish, but you cannot help feeling that it falls away a little short. I was not impressed when I first tasted this in 2010 and those sentiments remain. Tasted at the Roumier vertical in London. Neal Martin. |
