  Atlas Tasting menu with Chef Freddy Money:
  All Burgundy, forest floor, umami, delicious
  But played second fiddle to Chef Money's 10-course tasting, and followed 2010 Raveneau Blanchot. Life is good!

  Black fruits, meat, game. Missing vibrancy. But a good food wine.

  It’s a rare treat to drink Bonnes Mares. I bought this bottle on release, before I knew much of anything about Burgundy. At least I knew enough to put it away for a long sleep. Holiday week in the time of COVID, while putting up the Christmas tree, I decided it was time. I opened the bottle, and poured a small glass to have while I was stringing lights on the tree. The aromatics were immediate and captivating, dark fruit and the heady scent of damp earth and fall leaves. Time brought out soy-like umami on the palate, buffering still present tannins. I kept going back to smell the wine, not even taking a sip. The aromas were too good. Three hours later the palate fanned out even more, with meaty, wild gaminess. The contrast of the ethereal perfume, and the wildness on the palate carried through dinner. The last few sips are still lingering in my glass, and I pick it up every so often to enjoy the aromas. I’ll eventually finish it...later.

  Although the bottle was sound, this was a few years past its prime
  Mostly tertiary notes - earth, leather, soil. Very little fruit. Low and fully resolved tannins. Not very concentrated. The aromas faded by the time of the last glass.
  Although this is an excellent wine it’s past its prime
