Dujac Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru 2013

95+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2013 Domaine Dujac Bonnes-Mares is excellent, as it offers up a superb bouquet of plums, cherries, gamebirds, a marvelously complex base of soil, woodsmoke, roses, a dollop of fresh thyme and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and very transparent in personality, with fine-grained tannins, lovely focus and a very long, poised and youthful finish. Classic Bonnes-Mares in the making. 2025-2075. (Nov/Dec 2014)"

95 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "A broad-ranging and distinctly cool nose features aromas of orange pekoe tea, white flowers, pomegranate and plenty of earthiness, all of which is trimmed in discreet but not invisible wood nuances. There is an equally cool and restrained mouth feel to the big-bodied, intense and muscular flavors that possess outstanding mid-palate concentration along with a beautiful sense of vibrancy and harmony to the gorgeously persistent finish. This overtly powerful effort will also need plenty of patience but should absolutely be worth the wait. Drink: 2028+. (Jan 2016)"

93-95 points Neal Martin (Wine Advocate): "The 2013 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has a beautiful bouquet with superb definition and seamlessly integrated oak, touches of truffle in the background and "mucking around" with the ebullient dark cherry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with silky smooth tannins. There is a fine seam of acidity here, the tannins a little rigid at the moment with a linear but with a precise finish. This is a well-crafted Bonnes-Mares fulfilling exactly what a Bonnes-Mares ought to be. Look forward to seeing how it turns out in bottle. Drink: 2018-2035. (12/29/14)"

94+ points Stephen Tanzer (Vinous): "Deep red. Pungent cherry, licorice and wild herbs on the nose, lifted by exhilarating treble notes of blood orange and peony. Sharply delineated and tightly wound, dominated by its structure today. A more savory style than either the Clos Saint-Denis or Clos de la Roche, with dark berry, mineral and wild herb flavors carrying impressively on the extremely long, saline aftertaste. Drink: 2025-2039. (Mar 2016)"

93 points Stephen Brook (The World of Fine Wine): "Rich raspberry-coulis nose, packed with fruit, yet also with a floral character. The attack is pungent, with intense tannins and good acidity. Skeletal now, this is highly concentrated and needs years to flower. Very long, with impressive drive. (Issue 59; 2018)"
