(BH91-94 points) A spicy, ripe and solidly complex nose of red berry fruit liqueur, plum and black cherry notes complements the supple, generous and concentrated medium-bodied flavors that possess a lovely minerality before culminating in a refined and well-balanced finish where a touch of wood appears. This is not a classic Bonnes Mares as it's not especially powerful or robust but there is the class and refinement of a grand cru. It is also not particularly structured, at least not in the context of a typical Bonnes Mares though it will still require a good 10 years of cellar time first.

(WA92-94 points) Clean veins of saline minerality buttress a core of expressive fruit in the 2010 Bonnes-Mares. This focused, beautifully articulated wine is endowed with marvelous length and sheer energy. Sweet floral notes add lift on the close. This parcel sits on the Morey side of the vineyard. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2030. - Antonio Galloni

93+ Good deep red. Wild aromas of musky, briary black raspberry, cola, pepper, spices and flowers. Round and deep in the mouth, with lovely sweetness and a light touch to the dark fruit and mocha flavors. Still a bit youthfully stunted but has the length and energy to reward mid-term aging.
