Vinous Neal Martin - 30 Oct 24
The 2020 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has a reductive nose, though behind that, there is a smorgasbord of attractive dark berry fruit tinged with black olives. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, touches of licorice and some elements of overripe fruit towards the finish. But it's an enjoyable Grand Cru, a little "sexier" than its peers, and it improves with time in the glass. There's real sophistication locked up in this Bonnes-Mares, but it needs time. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.
