1999 Domaine Robert Groffier Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru

Bid on this bottle of 1999 Domaine Robert Groffier Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru (95ST, 93RP, 91BH). Int'l Wine Cellar: "Medium ruby. Knockout grand cru aromas of macerated berries, licorice, jasmine, animal fur, tar and exotic baking spices; a great example of Bonnes-Mares, showing both the floral and animal aspects of the cru. Fills the mouth with sappy sucrosity, lifted by a strong floral element. A wine of great energy, finishing with firm but sweet tannins. Makes a strong argument that great grand cru Burgundy can be made at a yield of 42 hectoliters per hectare. (ST)" (03/2002)
