98 DM "Full, immature colour. This is a brilliant wine. Full, rich and concentrated on the nose. Still fresh and youthful. Splendid fruit. Real depth, vigour and dimension. Real class. Will still improve. Very fine indeed." 97 AM ... The ripe and very densely fruited dark berry fruit nose and robust, powerful, muscled and concentrated flavors are beginning to open and the signs of what is to come are now in evidence. There is massive density and incredible sap and while there are prominent tannins, they are ripe and perfectly integrated for what is still a moderately young Bonnes Mares. The fabulous potential this displayed from cask is now almost realized and while it will need another five years to really be at its best, it should last for two to three decades after that. In short, this is a truly great Bonnes Mares. Tasted many times with consistent notes though this most recent bottle was so good that I have upgraded my score slightly.
