"Día de los Daddys" (Chicago, IL): This is pretty clean (no 2006 funk) and shows the weightiness that you would expect for a Bonnes Mares; generally leaning towards black fruit rather than red, with more of a toasted oak signature than I would have liked to taste. Still seems relatively young (at least this bottle) and I think there would be profit to further aging, with the hope that more of the prickly oak elements recede. There's enough fruit to support that for now.

Similar to the 2013, filled with high class oak and whole cluster notes, very aromatic in a not airy way. Pretty broad and powerful. A little spices. Mouth filling. Saturated with very nice depth of fruits, good powerful grip. Some unresolved tannin, persistent, long finish. Still very youthful!

Red fruits galore both on the nose and palate. Great harmony and well resolved tannins. Just a complete package but just lacks that oomph for this to truly be a great wine

A lighter style of BM, or just past it’s prime? Good PN characteristics
