Generous Bonnes Mares fruit...nose advanced, but palate still very fresh. Definitely in its drinking window if not at peak. Still ample acidity to support ripe Grand Cru depth. Everything working in harmony. Wouldn't wait too much longer.

Certainly modern, but not offensively so. Ripe, extracted, and silky smooth. Very approachable for a '98 Bonnes Mares, but I guess that is the intent. Drink now.

Nice biting acidity. Wonderful nose, but losing something on the palate. Maybe best to finish drinking these pretty soon.

Pleasantly brambly. Good, but not extraordinary.
