France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru
Gorgeous, lifted primary almost jammy strawberry aromas, with spice. Terrific concentration of still-primary spice red cherry and strawberry fruit. Very good lift and structure, to match the rich fruit. Drinking nicely, but loads of upside.
Big nose of rich red and black fruit, with smoked meat and smoked herb. Palate is rich and densely fruited but so lifted and bright. Toasty, rich finish. Young with a long way to go. Nothing roasted or '03 about this.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey St. Denis 1er Cru
Good earthy, almost funky, red and black cherry fruit aromas with underlying mushroom and spice. Juicy and fresh cherry fruit with moderate concentration and very good spice finish. Surpringly approachable and generous for an 05.

Big primary, rich toasty oak and mocha nose. Concentrated and dense. Lots of jammy fruit cloaking the structure. Needs a ribeye.

Modest nose of plum, cedar and spice. Palate has medium intensity. Good balance, if a little dull.
