The medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Bonnes Mares reveals aromas of coffee, mocha cream, and blackberries. Medium-bodied and exhibiting sweet cherry, coffee bean, and fresh herb flavors, this is a lively wine for near-term drinking. It has good structure and loads of ripe tannin, yet the forward nature of its fruit signifies it should be drunk over the next 5-6 years. Bottled under the Baron de la Charriere label and imported by European Cellars, Eric Solomon, New York, NY; tel. (212) 924-4949
