Michele et Patrice Rion, Bonnes Mares Vintage:2013 this hasn't changed a great

this hasn't changed a great deal since my last review except that the length is now even more phenomenal and the supporting tannins are a bit more apparent

a wine that ultimately is produced only about once every four years or so

Michele et Patrice Rion, Bonnes Mares Vintage:2013 this hasn't changed a great(from a small parcel that makes on average one barrel annually; 100% new wood). A brooding and restrained nose of notably cool red currant, earth and ferrous earth aromas are in keeping with the equally serious and tightly wound flavors that possess a sleek muscularity on the dense and superbly long finish. The supporting tannins are firm but clearly phenolically mature and this should repay 12 to 15 years of aging. (92 94) 2021+
