The inherent elegance of the finest examples of the 2009 vintage is very much in evidence in this stunning young vintage of Comte de Vogüé Bonnes-Mares. The bouquet is deep, pure and nicely reserved, as it offers up a very classy mélange of red and black cherries, pomegranate, woodsmoke, a touch of mustard seed, gamebirds, a great base of complex soil tones and a deft framing of new wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and beautifully reserved in profile, with a sappy core of fruit, ripe, but substantial tannins, great focus and balance and superb length and grip on the still fairly primary finish. Another stellar example of the vintage.
