Robert Groffier Bonnes Mares 2004 - 750ML

92 points Stephen Tanzer

Medium red. Dark berries complicated by smoked meat and tar on the nose. Sweet, silky and broad, with the expressive gibiers and underbrush elements I find in most of these 2004s. Initially showed less verve than the Amoureuses but with aeration this fat fellow reveals plenty of inner-palate energy. Offers compelling sweetness and flesh for a 2004. Finishes long, with fine tannins.
