Tasting notes
Very intense nose. Juicy-fruited, so that one hardly notices the structure that is undoubtedly there. Very pure and fresh. Just really rather glorious. Long and sweet but not heavy. Yes! So long. (JR)

The 2023 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is a beauty, bursting with notes of orange zest, black raspberries, exotic spices, potpourri, violets and incense. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, with a cool core of fruit framed by sweet, powdery tannins and animated by lively acids, it concludes with a long, saline finish.
The 2023 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has a well-defined bouquet with black cherries, wild strawberries and light loamy aromas coming through with aeration. It is maybe a little Musigny-like. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and gentle grip, slightly peppery in style with a persistent, quite saline finish. Without a doubt, this is a fabulous Bonnes-Mares with great potential. It may very well land at the top of my banded score.
