Reviews:

What were originally explosive aromas of black fruit, earth and notes of blueberries all trimmed in a touch of wood toast have gracefully transformed into a gorgeously elegant, airy and pure nose that complements perfectly the sappy, full-bodied, rich, wonderfully intense and still firmly structured flavors that go on and on. This is exceptionally dense for the vintage with dusty structure and superb balance which should permit it to age gracefully for years. The '01 Bonnes Mares trades more on elegance than power than usual though to be sure, it's no shrinking violet. Lovely. Tasted several times recently with consistent notes  Burghound 93
