Ripe red and black fruits accent the strong leather, vanilla and tobacco aromas, lush on the palate with spicy tannins that linger on and on. — 4 years ago
Needed a full hour in the decanter before it really began to show up, but could have used several more for sure. Rich, textured and with with quite racy acidity for 2009, showing squeezed lemons, yellow apple, ripe pear, spices and crushed oyster shells. Great purity and energy for the vintage as well that leads to a long intense and mineral infused finish. — 6 years ago

My first Jamet Côte Rôtie, decanted, dark color, nose intoxicating delicious almost smoking , taste good grip certainly huge Syrah, afterglow lingering wonderful, a very outstanding beverage, give me more. — 10 years ago
Young Bonneau du Martray; just linear, oak though a big presence is layered, nose awfully restrained and fruit basically hidden until it evolves some more; try in a decade maybe two; so slight but so tight; acid tucked behind the wood too; an evolution to happen; great Corton; an even better site when I drove past this vineyard in May this year; #drinkFrance #drinkburgundy #côtedor #cortoncharlemagne #corton #bonneaudumartray #grandcru #domaine #2009 #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtours #France2016 — 11 years ago

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Nice nose of black currants, blackberries, black plums, cedar, licorice, chocolates, vanilla, earth, light vinaigrette, tobacco leaf, herbs, eucalyptus and peppercorn.
Full bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, vanilla, espresso, tobacco leaf, earth, herbs, eucalyptus, spices, peppercorn and mildew.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.
This is a gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley. Showing great complexity with a soft mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 30 minutes of airtime.
This 13 year old will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Nicely balanced, rich and extracted. Elegant and fruit forward.
Wine Spectator 92 points.
A good quality wine that will pair nicely with BBQ Meats.
A blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot, 3% Merlot and 1% Malbec.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
94 points.
