Silky and refined, this is all about finesse and harmony. Sandalwood and Asian spices grace the core of cherry, currant, floral and mineral flavors. It's vibrant and long, with terrific intensity on the spice- and mineral-tinged aftertaste. Best from 2024 through 2048. 15 cases imported. — BS

(94+ points) The 2018 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is showing nicely, wafting from the glass with a deep and incipiently complex bouquet of cherries, dark berry fruit and cassis, mingled with notes of cinnamon, rose hip and blood orange. Deep, full-bodied and concentrated, it's elegantly muscular, with a layered core of fruit, rich and powdery tannins, and succulent balancing acids. Broad-shouldered and introverted, this has a bright future ahead of it.- WK
