Burgundy and pinot noir (Wink Wine Bar): Dirty cherry: the wine. This wine needs to be kept in the cellar quite a bit longer. It had lots of cherry notes and was chewy with a funky, earthy nose. A wine with a future, too young now. We found lots of cherry flavors, as well as figs, white pepper, toasty oak. The fruit seems unresolved. Last month the salon tasted a 2002 Newman Latricieres Chambertin and we thought a Newman wine six years older would drink quite well. We forgot that this is Bonnes Mares, a grand cru terroir requiring much more cellar time than chambertins. Oh well.....we won't be drinking the 2002 Newman Bonnes Mares for a decade.

very nice... lots of berries and some definite earth feel. a little heat on the finish rounded off after about 20 minutes of air.
