  The Blind Side - no, not football! (Chateau Simms): I am guessing the wine got at least 1-2 hours of slo-O before tasting, but honestly not sure about the bottle treatment/preparation before the tasting, i.e., it could be more.
  
  This was part of a blind tasting that included the following wines:
  
  1. 2010 Abreu Thorevilos
  2. 2021 Scarecrow
  3. 2015 Colgin Tychson Hill
  4. 2019 Sassicaia
  5. 2019 Domaine Trapet Chapelle-Chambertin
  6. 2021 Bella Oaks La Genie
  7. 2014 Caymus Special Selection
  8. 2014 Vice Versa Magnificent 7
  
  2019 Domaine Trapet Chapelle-Chambertin - I probably enjoyed this wine more than most of the group! It reeked Burgundy even blind! It had a barnyard funk (in a good way) to go along with some florals, fruit and spice. The palate was chalked full of cherry and red fruit with some iron and mountain pepper berry. Still quite young, but definitely has the acidity and tannins to age quite well! Will be even better in another 5 years! 94+ to 95 today.

  called this wine as a lower cost, grand cru red burg. Nailed it. I can see why many have gone down the red burg path. If this is the tip of what very good burg tastes like, then I might not want to explore it. Not because it is not good, but because I am afraid I might like it more.

  Eyes Wide Shut - Day 1 (A quiet place): Nose: This wine funks. Light red fruits like gently ripe raspberries and a subtle cranberries, grass and wet mulch. Still funks with time.
  
  Palate: Fresh and clean juiciness, pleasant red fruits, thankfully drastically less funk than what you get on the nose. Gentle energy is found here, giving this a bit of an exciting, prickly texture.
  
  I figured this one was mine cause of its stink. The palate showed more friendly than the nose and continued to improve as the day went on. I know I'm sounding like an ad on repeat here, but give this some air if opening now, it does get better. 95+
