Bonnes Mares Grand Cru Pinot Noir

Unfortunately the last bottle in my cellar.

Outstanding

Close to perfection. Round, cherries wafting from the glass, great minerality

Simply excellent

Great wine in a great year what more is there to say other than not enough left in the cellar

Perfectly mature burgundy. Medium body still outstanding black fruit. Peppery and piquant.

I’m thinking about starting a Grateful Journal. I’ve heard that writing down things you’re thankful for 5-10 mins before sleep helps you actually get the most from your sleep and also helps you wake up more energized. Tonight, my journal will note how thankful I am for friends who share great wine. @Frank this young beauty is sultry. Like making love on a hot summer’s night with the windows open. Opens with a pleasant earthy musk, meaty and gamey notes, and some fresh herbs, garrigue. Luscious and thicky-thick on the palate (see: Nelly). The red and blue fruits sing in wonderful harmony with the earthy, unadulterated tension just below the surface. Spicy, mineral, savory, and clean fruit all at once. Many years ahead. Perfect way to get in the Christmas spirit!

Earthy meaty nose - funk - rich and soft. Luscious mouthfeel. Dark cherries and forward layer after layer of savory of provocative goodness. A

Supple and elegant, densely packed dark fruit, mulling spice and mineral overtones, so closed at first but the last few sips were just starting to get interesting. Needs 5-10 years or a 3 hour decant

Perfect Pinot, great forest ground, full fruit, just great. Only two bottles left
