Ripe and exuberantly floral aromas possess intricate layering and plenty of spice along with a suggestion of earth. Once again there is a lovely texture to the succulent, round and sappy big-bodied flavors that coat the palate and particularly so on the moderately austere finale that displays simply superb length. This very powerful and impeccably well-balanced effort is shaped by dense but notably fine-grained tannins that should enable this to see its 30th birthday in fine fettle. In short, this is stunningly good. Burghound 95
The 2019 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru unwinds in the glass with scents of raspberries, cherries, warm spices, rose petals, peonies and violets. Full-bodied, muscular and concentrated, it's rich and structured, with bright acids and prodigious reserves of powdery tannin. Broad-shouldered and powerful, it will—as usual—require patience. William Kelley 94-96+
