Exiting and powerfull nose thats dense and intense. This has black cherries, wild berries, forest floor, mushrooms and plenty of moccha. Palate is first a little tight and the nose is best. But that changes the palate evolves with a lovely mouthfeel with dense sweet fruit, that you dont want to leave. Still the finish is a little tight, but with food the finish is longer and more opulent. Quite a masterpiece and certainly not a feminine pinot on the lighter side. It will be difficult to find a pinot like this and i guess its classic Bonnes Mares on the wild side.

Layered, deep, balanced, complex and refined. So much information folds around the edges of your tongue while the ever present spice stubbornly squats at the front. A huge and gorgeous wine. Allow yourself the time to let it open up.

Nice stench on the nose, some rust and earth. Pronounced acidity, smooth and silky but I found it lacking a bit of body.

Looked like it had plenty of good material but a TCA top note robbed us of deriving any pleasure from it.
