The 1999 Bonnes Mares reveals a saturated, medium to dark ruby color, and a spicy, black cherry-imbued nose. This is a masculine, muscular, broad shouldered wine with a medium-bodied personality crammed with coffee beans, blackberries, and cassis. It has outstanding density of fruit and the structure and depth required for moderate aging. Drink it between 2003 and 2012.
