Bonnes-Mares Robert Groffier 2005 is a Grand Cru Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits. The Bonnes-Mares vineyard sits on a mix of `terres blanches` and `terres rouges`, with Groffier`s parcels leaning toward the clay-heavy soil that produces a massive, muscular style. 2005 is a five-star vintage, resulting in a wine of heft and concentration. It presents wild aromas of blackberry liqueur, mocha and faded rose. The palate is dense and chewy, with ripe tannins and a very long, lush finish. Despite its power, the wine maintains a sense of symmetry and focus, representing one of the most opulent expressions of this Cru.

Good deep red. Wild, superripe aromas of blackberry liqueur, mocha, milk chocolate and faded rose. Sweet, dense and thick, but with very good lift to its flavors of dark berries, wild herbs and game. This impressively fat, large-scaled grand cru is as chewy as a solid. Finishes very long and lush, with thoroughly ripe tannins. Those who taste with their mouth alone will rate this massive wine even higher than I did; I wanted a bit more in the way of treble notes. But this one may yet explode with seven or eight years of cellaring.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2008
