Jadot Bonnes Mares 1993 750mL

"It had been several years since I last had the opportunity to try this and it was side by side with the '90 Jadot Clos St. Jacques. As good as the '90 CSJ is, and it is indeed very, very good, the '93 Bonnes Mares is simply at the next level of excellence with its fantastically complex nose that is completely secondary though there is no current sign of sous-bois to the spicy and intensely earthy aromas. There is superb richness and a velvety mouth feel to the dense, intense and overtly powerful big-bodied flavors that possess stunning depth and length. For my taste the '93 BM is fully ready though there is absolutely no rush to drink up as it should hold at this level for several more decades. A true stunner and notably better than the prior bottles that I have enjoyed. Note that this bottle, while recently shipped to the US, had come direct from the Jadot cellars." - Burghound, BH95, tasted 7/2012
