Parker about Bonnes Mares Grand Cru 1990
While the Bonnes Mares is closed, the dark ruby/purple color and the wine's terrific potential are evident. Full-bodied, with a blossoming, black-cherry nose complemented by a judicious use of toasty new oak, this wine exhibits wonderful richness, excellent definition and structure, and a long, dense, concentrated finish. Anticipated maturity: 1997-2010. After a wait of nearly twenty years, these 1990s are the first truly profound wines to emerge from this great domaine since 1972. If the rigid oenologist who fashions these wines, Monsieur Millet, would throw away his filters, they probably could have been even more exciting. However, these 1990s are stunning enough to convince me that the resurrection of Comte de Vogue has begun. Interestingly, Millet has shown some and flexibility is now doing a cold maceration of 5-7 days before starting the fermentation, which has no doubt contributed to the black/purple color of these wines.

Bonnes Mares Grand Cru 1990

The Bonnes Mares Grand Cru 1990 from Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé is a powerful yet complex wine that impressively reflects the potential of this legendary site. The 1990 vintage, characterized by ideal weather conditions and a warm climate, gave the wine exceptional maturity and concentration. On the nose, the wine unfolds intense aromas of dark fruits such as black cherries, blackberries, and plums, accompanied by spicy notes such as cinnamon, cloves, and a hint of licorice. Earthy tones of undergrowth and leather, as well as subtle hints of smoke and truffle, add additional depth to the bouquet.
On the palate, the Bonnes Mares 1990 presents itself opulently and multifaceted, with impressive structure and powerful yet perfectly integrated tannins. The fruit flavors are deep and rich, with the concentrated ripeness of the vintage balanced by a refreshing acidity that lends the wine remarkable vibrancy. The mineral and earthy undertones typical of the Bonnes Mares vineyard enhance the complexity and ensure a long, lingering finish that exudes both power and elegance.
