"Dense purple. Classy nose here, The Bonnes Mares has reacted better to the heat than the Clos de la Roche. The lick of vanilla from the barrel works well with it. This is very sensual and fills the mouth. The idiom is of course of ripe fruit with some blueberry, but there are fresher red notes running through the middle. Thick sumptuous texture, and very good length."
Burghound, 95 Points
"Subtle but easily perceptible wood sets off ripe aromas of poached plum and exotic red berry fruit scents that are laced with suggestions of warm earth and spice. The round and caressing yet solidly powerful and concentrated medium weight plus flavors flash an appealing vibrancy while coating the palate with sappy dry extract on the linear, youthfully austere and compact finale. This too needs more depth, but this is quite promising."
