Tasted blind. Medium gold and like motor oil in the glass. Notes of lemon, lime blossoms, white stone and a little vanilla. Very glycerol in the mouth. Great balance of acidity against the fatness of the fruit. Long finish. I guessed 90 Bonneau du Martray CC. — 8 years ago

Birthday wine that pairs well with chicken livers. — 12 years ago
Very nice golden apple, spiced pear, and yeasty aromas with an apple, stewed pineapple, lemon curd, and caramel palate... Great with butternut squash soup and ginger. — 12 years ago
Staged a Chardonnay tasting for daughter with price and region being topics. Class act of the group. Blew '98 Bonneau du Martray Corton-Charlemagne out of the water (at 1/3 the price). Light on its feet but packed with flavor. Very Burgundian. Kudos to Ric. — 13 years ago

Unlike anything I have ever tried, would never guess CdP but it indeed was and carried itself like a 10 year old, not a 24 year old wine. Made by the #legendary Henri Bonneau, arguably the most revered CdP producer/farmer after Rayas. A deep purple red color hinted that this was going to be interesting and not an old barny wine. The nose showed more mature notes but did not so much dominate over the youthful aspects. The nose showed aromas of dried and crushed berry fruits, earth, leather, and subtle spice notes. The palate took it up a few notches in intensity with youthful vibrancy, layers upon layers of flavor, full bodied, silky and ripe tannins, and a long and lingering finish. #chateauneuf #1990 #henribonneau — 12 years ago
Nice little chard from Carneros. Baked apple some oak, great for roast chicken or broiled fish. — 13 years ago

Wedged in between the monumental 2005 and 2007 this wine is more delicate but again a true Rayas. Perfect balance, strong kirsch tones and this endless perfume which comes with a sexy Rayas. Reynaud and Bonneau two opposite wines, both great, for me forget all the rest in red chateauneuf. What a joy and privilege to be allowed to drink this. — 8 years ago
