The 2013 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has a more backward bouquet compared to the Clos de la Roche ’13, with blackberry, licorice and plenty of spice, but there is less terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, very structured with a rather saturnine finish. It just seem withdrawn when Bonnes-Mares from barrel are usually the life of the party.
