Product Description
BH96 "The concentration and intensity has slowly but noticeably been increasing over the last few vintages as the vines begin to achieve a higher average age and it's particularly evident in 2005. Here the nose is unusually expressive rather than its usual brooding character with pretty, even elegant aromas of spicy red pinot and purple fruit and warm earth notes that can also be found on the powerful but detailed, indeed almost nervous flavors that possess excellent precision and a very attractive underlying tension on the explosive finish that delivers flat out incredible length. 2005 is the best vintage for this wine that I've seen since Mugnier took over."

Allen Meadows for BurgHound writes, "The benefit of this attention to detail cannot be overestimated as the increase in quality, which was already exceptionally high, has been immediately obvious. Indeed, as good as the Mugnier '04s are, the '05s have ascended to a new level of quality even while adjusting for the superior quality of 2005 versus 2004. Indeed, both the Musigny and Amoureuses are flat out incredible and the '05 Bonnes Mares is potentially the best vintage I have ever seen for this wine." Published: Jan 1, 2007
