  Perfect showing of a poor Burgundy vintage. At its best showing. Pronounced nose intensity with notes of mushroom, forest, ripe red fruits, toast. Medium+ acidity and medium tannin. Long finish. Did not decant, drink straight from bottle. Will not improve with ageing. Suggest to drink up to enjoy its current form.

  Double decant and serve. Nose a bit shy but interesting strawberry, mushroom and cigar. The palate is integrated tannin with nice red fruit, wood, smoke. Very elegant and mature wine to enjoy now

  Drank from magnum. The nose was excellent with notes of mushroom, toast, truffle, cooked red fruit, strawberry. Medium+ acidity and medium tannin. After aeration, theres slight notes of green bell pepper. Previously for the vintage 2004 that I drank from Trapet, I had realised that for 2004, theres always some notes on green.

  A much lighter and elegant expression of the Chambertin vineyard, but still a very complex and engaging wine. Red fruit driven, with dried cherry being the dominant note, this also has touches of dried orange and raspberry, then you get the herbal, spice and graphite notes and a healthy dose of tertiary leather and white mushroom flavors. All of this fans out on a pretty long finish. It's highly complex and, in that way, very balanced and complete, but it states its point calmly rather than shouting it from the rooftops. The tannins are very smooth and pretty fully integrated, with acid pretty solidly med+.
  
  Pretty classic example of a great vineyard in spotty vineyard. On the positive side, there's no ladybug notes and any sort of green reads, "mildly herbal", rather than any sort of bell pepper, big "G" green. That said, this is certainly not a powerhouse wine, but that's not necessarily all bad, as it paired beautifully with a wide array of wildly complex food. This is a bit of a right tool for the right job sort of wine.
  
  This didn't feel like it was in danger of falling apart, but I think it is at or near peak and probably won't reward all that much more cellaring.
