" 93 points Pierre Rovani writing for the Wine Advocate: "Raw meat, black fruits, and spices can be found in the profound aromas of the 2002 Bonnes Mares. Medium to full-bodied, thick, and concentrated, this is a structured yet lush effort, crammed with stony black fruits. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2014." (06/04) 91-93 Points from Allen Meadows, who writes: "(from a .97 ha parcel of 39 year old vines and 75% new wood). A very toasty nose with hints of torrefaction and generous black fruits lead to supple, extremely fresh and vibrant flavors of outstanding complexity and incredible length. This has the classic Bonnes Mares power and muscle yet the tannins are more refined than normal. Again, this is slightly woodier than I personally prefer but the fruit quality is first rate." (Burghound, 01/04)"
