A little muted on the nose so I decided to decant this on opening. An hour later this started to improve and just kept getting better. Starting to turn a little secondary but this has a long drinking window ahead. Lots of dried figs, toasted cherries and a lovely finish.

Pronounced nose intensity with candied plum, sweet dates, flora, mushroom, truffle. Medium+ acidity and medium tannin. Very aromatic nose and long finish. Drinking at its apogee. Will not improve anymore.

An Epic Summer Wine Weekend - Year 2; 6/30/2023-7/2/2023 (Muskoka, Ontario, Canada): [Tasted Single Blind] Quite pale ruby with touches of orange toward the watery rim. The nose is incredibly lifted, elegant, and complex showing orange peel, light cherry, pomegranite, green leaf, pickled ginger, peony, and cardamom. The palate is just beautifully light and red fruited augmented by lovely ginger and citrus notes providing tremendous freshness. Medium minus tannin and medium plus acid gives this a very open and airy structure. The finish is long and gorgeous focused on pithy orange peel. This was just a beautiful wine and overall quite wide open for current drinking. In this flight the overall complexity is what separates this from the Jadot CSJ, but for anyone expecting a deeper and richer profile for a Grand Cru, this really comes across as the opposite of what you might expect, more than likely due to producer style. Overall this wine delivered on expectations. Great showing.

2007 Domaine Trapet (Jean et Jean-Louis) Chambertin. Light brick, amber edges; complex nose, with leaves, red fruit, gamey, light musk; low-medium acids; softening tannins; decent fruit, elegant finish, but probably just past its prime. 17 UC Davis scale, 92 other scales.

My May 2020 note remains accurate. This bottle seemed to have turned the corner already and showed an unpleasant tawny / raisin character and a nearly madarized style. Better off a fresh pour with some wild rusticity and sauvage around darker cherry fruit, but falls off quickly.
