TN: 02 Bonneau du Martray CC

call and two weeks of no wine start tomorrow so something good tonight. Holding my breath and praying to the god of wine, we lucked out w a pristine bottle.

Almost Ramonet-like w mintiness and a tight coiled acidity, the bottle is young and augurs for a long future–barring premox, of course. There is lime, lemon, green apple, a steely minerality, and lots of acid, but well-integrated and serving to lift the wine and focus it.

Good stuff–the BdM I fell in love with long ago.

Glad you had a sound bottle Alan.

Nice Alan,

I pulled a magnum of the '99 this past weekend and it was not drinking as well. Drinkable to be sure, but more than hints of oxidation.

Glad your showed well.

Cheers!
