Community Tasting Note

Friday, January 19, 2024 - The '13 Bonnes Mares is a very attractive young wine that was quite drinkable already, showing a beautiful perfume of exotic fruit and a very refined texture. Next to the '15 BM, this was much more open and ready to drink, while the '15 was more concentrated for the long haul.

The nose was very perfumed and exotic, with fresh citrus and other tropical fruits like passionfruit, sweet red forals, and red berry fruit. This was very fruit forward, and the fruit tones were unlike any of the other wines tasted, with the exotic, tropical fruit tones more so than typical red berry fruit. On the palate, the wine was medium to light in body, with red berry fruit, citrus peel, and spices, showing beautiful inner sweetness. Acidity was high, while the tannins were very refined. This has a lot of energy, and it's very drinkable already.

All that said, I don't see a lot of complexity here for future aging. My sense is this is a bottle best admired over the next few years while the fruit is so radiant.
