Wine Spectator: 95 Points

"This is all about finesse with the racy profile and silky texture setting the stage for cherry bilberry and mineral flavors. Sleek and well-integrated at this stage yet with dense ripe tannins that need to be absorbed. Builds to a long ethereal aftertaste."

Burghound: 95 Points

"This is quite floral with plenty of earth and assorted spice elements adding interest to the very fresh mix of green tea and red and dark berry fruit scents. There is outstanding power and concentration to the broad-shouldered flavors that possess a robust mouth feel and ample minerality all wrapped in a moderately austere and hugely long finish. This is a big indeed even opulent but balanced wine that is clearly built for longer-term cellaring."

Vinous: 94+ Points

"Bright medium red. Knockout high-pitched aromas of red berries peony and orange peel. Boasts compelling subtle density and sharp definition to its taut flavors of blackberry violet licorice spices and minerals. In its juicy sappiness this is like chewing on a ripe cherry. A classic Bonnes-Mares offering superb volume without any undue weight. And an outstanding example of what phenolically ripe fruit could make in this cool vintage."

Wine Advocate: 91-93 Points

"The 2013 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has very impressive intensity on the nose with blackberry red plum and minerals ? quite bold if not in possession of the finesse of other vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and loaded with a pastille-like purity - blackberry touches of cassis white pepper and citric touch toward the poised crystralline finish. This is very fine indeed although not in the same league as last year's 2012." -Neal Martin
