1999 Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru, Bottle (750ml)

A brooding if not inexpressive nose features notes of earth, soft spice, dark and notably ripe dark berry fruit. There is outstanding concentration to the big-bodied firm, reserved, overtly powerful flavors that are underpinned by a still very solid wall of tannins on the sappy and somewhat austere finish that delivers outstanding length. This remains relatively closed and a wine that is clearly still very much on the way up. Consistent notes save for one recent bottle which exhibited just a touch of finishing dryness. Drink: From 2019+ - BH (4/2013)
