I loved this medium-to-dark ruby-colored wine. Earthy aromas of stones, minerals, blood, and blueberries can be found in this medium-to-full-bodied, tightly wound, sensual, and seductive wine. Seemingly unending layers of black raspberries, cherries, wild blueberries, tangy red currants, and fresh herbs can be found in this complex, rich, silky-textured, and profound wine. Its sublime finish, which provides the taster with yet another opportunity to witness this offering's gorgeous purity of fruit, has a firm yet supple backbone. An extraordinary Bonnes Mares! Projected maturity: 2003-2010+.

Big red, with lots of mineral, toasted oak and compacted fruit; seemingly ungenerous for now, it's a terroir-driven Pinot that's hibernating and will need time. But all the pieces are there, including a racy quality. Best from 2005 through 2012. 665 cases made. ?PM
