Deep garnet in colour. Medium nose intensity with notes of green bell pepper, spices, toast. Medium acidity and tannin. 2004 is not a good vintage but it’s in the drinking window for Trapet. Drink up and will not improve.

A-little disappointed with the showing for the nose. Medium+ nose intensity with notes with green bell pepper, wet forest, spices, toast, subtle red fruits. Medium+ acidity and medium tannin. Supposedly for Trapet wine, its always full of fruits aromas, mushroom and truffle. Perhaps its bottle variation or due to 2004 being a weak vintage? I still have one bottle of it and will try to see if its similar notes.

Last tasted about three years ago. Stony red fruit, soft tannins, Burgundian. But the vintage character is apparent, rendering what could be something special into one of mother nature's cruel burg jokes. I tend to be someone who is very sensitive to LBT/underripe stems. For my taste, an acceptable '04 burg rouge -- it's like a unicorn.

Mineral and elegant fruit. Very much in the Trapet style, restrained and subtle.
Needed a little time but in a very good spot right now.

Better than expected, given the rep of the vintage. Plenty of forest floor and herb balanced with dark cherry. Worth the spend.
