Rossignol Trapet, Gevrey Chambertin Clos Prieur other_regions this is a classic Griotte

this is a classic Griotte that should amply reward 10 to 15 years of cellaring

the wine will require a bit of patience

There is outstanding volume and intensity to the imposingly-scaled flavors that possess first-rate midpalate concentration along with an abundance of dry extract that imparts a velvety texture to the firmly structured and beautifully persistent finish

I once again left the bottle exposed to air for 24 hours and unlike the Romanée Saint-Vivant

Rossignol Trapet, Gevrey Chambertin Clos Prieur other_regions this is a classic Griotte(planted in 1985). A markedly more elegant nose shows aromas of the essence of red pinot fruit, spice, lavender and a hint of spiced tea. There is very good volume to the delicious and energetic middle weight flavors that retain good detail on the saline and youthfully austere finish that is presently a bit tough. While the tannins will undoubtedly soften with time in bottle, its not clear whether this will ultimately harmonize.
