  April 22, 2022 - Beautiful nose of dark cherries, strawberries, leather, mushrooms, and dark fruit. Well balanced and generally feeling a bit lighter and more delicate on the palate with notes of strawberries, and dark cherries. Long finish. Outstanding, complex wine, probably drinking at peak right now.

  June 3, 2021 - A surprise gentleman's dinner and a first for me from this producer. A chance to sit down with 2 other knowledgeable chaps and enjoy some great wines. Really open from the first pour, surprisingly lush and feminine with a lot of rose perfume notes, lots of macerated red raspberries and a subtle soil/spice note. Equally impressive on the palate with an openness and approachability I don't normally associate with Bonnes Mares or the 1999 vintage. Totally ready to drink and must be at its peak but no rush to drink them quickly if you are lucky enough to have them in your cellar. Delicious, seductive and intriguing!

  June 3, 2021 - A joy to taste my last bottle of 99 Bertheau Bonnes Mares among three people. Lovely bouquet with dried flowers, rose petal, red fruit, blue fruit, spice and herbs. Palate is delicate and feminine, not your typical Bonnes Mares, especially a vintage like 1999. It is layered and expressive with weightless power and good transperency. A romantic Bonnes Mares that finishes in your glass much quicker than you realize. It is drinking perfectly from pop and pour but it hangs in glass firmly and strongly throughout the evening.

  March 31, 2021 - Animal, wild berries, spice and smoke. Palate is layered and expressive with excellent transperancy. Fantastic Bonnes Mares. 94-95

  March 1, 2013 - Clean pure nose of tart cherries and spices. The palate is lightweight and shows a good tension between the acid and the ripe fruit, very sexy and lively. Medium length finish with a nice cherry echo that remains long after you swallow the wine.
