  Gorgeous cherry and liquorice on the nose. Good structure here. Deep red in color. If served blind would have guessed much younger than 93. A very good showing here, but be curious to revisit in 5 years. Perfect combo with any red wine based meet sauce. 18/20

  Bottle condition was great and levels are high. Great color and clarity as well. When opened nose was amazing, a little shy to start with but the Bonnes Mares structure is evidently there. Red fruits, liquorish, a little stony earth and warm spices. On the palate still young, closed to start with, definitely needs more air. Rich and fuller bodied, tannins are still a little un-integrated, on the rustic side. Enjoyed the nose more than the palate. Not a wow wine but still enjoyable. After 3 hours going downhill. Would drink it in the next couple years.

  Later in the evening and not a ton of notes. This was very good but suffered in comp to a 93 Engel GE. Great Bonnes Mares character - lots of power and darker fruits, earth and plenty of red fruits. Good structure here - this will go for a while.

  From a pristine bottle this looked and drank fairly young. It was distinctly Mugnier style, with heaps of roses, sandalwood and strawberries, and tbh if it was served blind I think I’d have identified Mugnier but struggled with vineyard and vintage. Could easily have been a younger Amoureuses, at least for the first 90 minutes. Wonderful balance, it kept finding new layers of depth, with soft velvet on the finish....over time it provided some mildly earthy character but more Mugnier than Bonnes Mares.
