Note di degustazione
Bright, moderately saturated medium red. Alluring, nuanced, soil-driven scents of raspberry, smoke, mocha, coffee, licorice, cinders and underbrush; at once more expressive, more complex and more harmonious than the 2012. Again, wonderfully sweet in the mouth as well as impressively dense for the vintage, showing a stronger element of salinity than the 2012. Intense dark berry, licorice, mineral and coffee flavors are a bit more reticent than the nose would suggest but this wonderfully silky, salty, soil-driven wine boasts near-perfect balance and a very long, subtle, rising finish that leaves behind a perfume of dried flowers and white pepper. Classically dry on the finish, with the tannins perhaps a touch less mellow in the early going than those of the 2012. (13% alcohol, 3.5 pH; 4.1 g/l acidity; 31 hectoliters per hectare; harvested on September 26; vinified with 50% whole clusters)

(about 50% vendange entier): Good full, deep red. Profound nose offers red and darker fruits, smoked meat, rose petal, minerals and complex soil tones; shows similarities to the Latricieres but is less expressive today--and a bit wilder. Big, rich and mouthfilling but without any undue impression of weight; sweetness is restrained today. Huge, classically dry wine with a broad, palate-staining finish that throws off notes of licorice, spices and white pepper. Perfectly ripe but not a bit overripe. Trapet told me his grand cru vineyards produced about 25 hectoliters per hectare in 2010.
The 2010 Chambertin is arguably the most complete of the Trapet Grand Crus. The Chambertin is distinguished for its seamless, generous fruit and totally inviting personality. Crushed flowers, sweet spices and licorice are some of the many notes that develop in the glass, adding complexity and depth to the expansive, creamy finish. The 2010 Chambertin was stunning a year ago, it is stunning today and my impression is it will always be magnificent, even if it is likely to go through a stubborn period somewhere along the way.
Tight, infantile tannins are blocking much of the path to fruit. Stylish and expressive. Eloquent, suave. (RH)
