  Drank at our Bucket list wine dinner. Notes from memory: Nose of red cherries & wet earth. Very complex palate of black and fruit, forest floor, some earthiness and cloves. This was a bigger wine than I expected, with an appropriate acidity level, and an extremely long and lovely finish. Still seemed quite youthful, and could've used a longer decant. Very nice wine.

  Flickinger Customer Appreciation Tasting (Casino Club - Chicago IL): Walk-around tasting. First time tasting this wine since shortly after release. Rich black and red fruits on both nose and palate. Meaty and firm on palate, but clearly approaching a beautiful sense of harmony. Long, expanding finish. 94-95+ point potential. This is from when Jadot's Bonnes Mares came from both the Morey and Chambolle sides.

  Fairly brooding nose though the palate is showing more accessible than you might expect for 05 B-M. By no means ready, as this is still quite primary, but the tannins have a degree of silkiness that hints at how great this wine will be once it sheds the healthy amount of remaining baby fat. 95+ point potential.

  Lots of sweet red fruits and hints of that classic liqueur strawberry note found in the very best '05 GC burg lurking in the background. Sadly it's all masked by too much tannin and extraction.
  
  There's ton of fruit power and complexity here, so you can certainly leave these to rest a bit to see if the structure softens out to let the fruit shine more clearly, but it'll be an interesting question to see if the fruit starts fading before the intrusive elevage does.
  
  At $400/bt in the context of the current market, it's not crazy.
