1996 Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru

"This is very deeply colored, in fact so much so that it would make a young port blush! The ripe aromas of red and blue berries, spice and earth display a mentholated top note. The dense, powerful and mouth coating broad-shouldered flavors possess evident muscularity while delivering excellent length on the youthfully austere finale. This isn't refined, indeed it's borderline rustic, but it's a dramatically impressive and very firmly structured wine that should live for decades." 95/100 - Burghound
