I see I rated this 100 points the last time we had it, and this bottle gave no reason to modify that rating. A perfect,spectacular wine. Quintessential old school red burgundy.We had this for our anniversary and it was a memorable occasion indeed! Perfectly balanced, complex, sweet fruit, very very long finish. We are very fortunate to have had this wine! At my last note I said drink between now and 2030. I now think that was conservative, this wine should last even longer -- but it's so delicious now, why wait?

This wine was so delicious! Enjoyed at dinner so I didn't take technical notes, but I cannot imagine a better red burgundy. Surprisingly dark for a Truchot; bottle opened a half hour before pouring, but no decanting. The wine had been standing up for a week, but there was surprisingly little sediment. Wonderful bouquet. On entry, full of the sweet pinot fruit that is so unique to Truchot. Medium weight in the mouth, more than typical for Truchot. Silky smooth. Fabulous long finish that made you want to take another sip. I probably enjoyed this as much as any burgundy I've ever had. Just a great, great wine. If I had to guess,I'd say it's at or near peak now (how could it get any better?), but showed no signs of age and will last another 10 years.

Typical but maturing. Good but not the best bottle.

Offensively burned stems and chocolate aromatics.

Jasper Rousseau Chambertin. Coffee aromas, rich sweet palate.
