Score 87/100 · Robert Parker, Jan 1990
I suspect the Bonnes Mares will ultimately merit a higher score as it is opulent, quite tannic, but deep, well colored, and very long. The 1985s from this famous firm are all impeccably clean, correct, well-made wines. Drouhin has managed to preserve the individual identity of each appellation as the wines do not taste alike. There is, of course, a house style, but that can be said of the wines from a small grower as well.
