Beautiful Malbec leading blend. The aromatic nose shows ripe candied fruits (more blue than black), cocoa, warm spices, violet, and touches of mint and eucalyptus. Gentle and silky on the palate with good acidic backbone. Fine grained assertive tannins.
Give it another 4-5 years, but irresistible now. — 2 months ago

The 2020 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has a fragrant, perfumed and classier bouquet than Hudelot-Baillet's Bonnes-Mares: well-defined with clever use of stems. Wonderful delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins. Lovely symmetry and poise build towards a linear yet intense finish. It will require 4-5 years to subsume the oak, but there is great potential, and it has a sense of statesmanlike class. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, October 2024)
