Tasting notes
The 2009 Bonnes-Mares is wonderfully nuanced and detailed. It is easily the most reticent of the estate's 2009 grand crus. The wine's energy and length come through most clearly at this stage. The Bonnes-Mares deserves to be cellared for at least a few years, but its pedigree is ample and significant even today. Readers will need to be patient.

Decent lift and raciness. This seems much the best so far from this address. Quite nervy and exciting. Dry finish. Not that long but it does have impact, surprising delicacy and refreshment. (JR)
