Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2015 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru ex Domaine Release 2023, Comte Georges de Vogüé

Tasted blind, the 2015 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru reprised its excellent showing in February, offering up a rich and distinctive bouquet of cherries, peony, dark chocolate, grilled squab and cinnamon. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, rich and dramatic, with a layered mid-palate, juicy acids and considerable underlying substance and concentration. The de Vogüé Bonnes Mares can be quite a stern, firm wine in its youth but this bottle of the 2015 was almost lavish. - William Kelley, Oct. 2018

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2015 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru ex Domaine Release 2023, Comte Georges de Vogüé

An extract of black cherry nose is interwoven with notes of earth, violet, spice and plum liqueur scents. The very dense and serious yet vibrant and relatively refined big-bodied flavors brim with dry extract that serves to mostly buffer the powerful and very firm tannic spine on the once again naturally sweet, sappy and massively long finish. As is often the case with the de Vogüé Bonnes Mares, this is a 'buy and forget you own it' wine. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2018
