The 2015 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has the most intense bouquet of the five wines from the same vineyard included within this flight, almost overwhelming the senses with precocious dark cherries, raspberry coulis, bergamot and hints of vanilla pod. The palate is medium-bodied, quite powerful and dense - a more masculine Bonnes-Mares that is almost Musigny-like in style. There is certainly a nobility about this Bonnes-Mares, but it will probably require longer to reach its drinking plateau than others. Just magnificent! Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

The 2015 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru demanded some coaxing from the nose, eventually unfurling with graceful scents of black cherry, boysenberry, cold limestone and hints of blood orange, the latter becoming more noticeable with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, very fine tannin. This is tightly knit, very linear, incredibly fresh and tensile with immense precision on the finish. The aftertaste leaves the tongue tingling minutes after the wine has departed. This is just a brilliant Bonnes-Mares, but you probably knew that already.

An overtly spicy and floral-scented nose reveals additional notes of plum, cassis, orange pekoe tea and plenty of earth. The rich, bold, powerful and firmly muscular large-scaled flavors possess superb mid-palate concentration where the abundant dry extract also buffers the presently unyielding tannic backbone on the massively long finish. This is, simply put, spectacular.
