The 1999 Chambertin Grand Cru from Domaine Trapet is a delicious mature Burgundy that is now perfect for drinking. On the nose it is bold and robust with notes of cassis, truffle, smoke and earth. With tannins now almost resolved, the palate is silky smooth but is punctuated by a cool thread of acidity. Drink with roasted game.

Superb deep red color, easily the darkest wine to this point! Deep, dark, classic Chambertin aromas of black cherry, dark raspberry, smoky minerals, menthol and spices; I would have guessed that this was a five-year-old wine from the nose. Large-scaled, rich and powerful; in a distinctly masculine style, conveying a strong impression of medicinal reserve to its very pure flavors of black fruits, clove, licorice and savory crushed-rock minerality. I love the balance of sweet and dry elements on display here. The inexorable finish saturates the entire palate and leaves the taste buds humming, with the combination of huge but well-distributed tannins and sound acidity contributing to the impression of grip. This may be a 50-year wine. (13.3% natural alcohol; 42 h/h; the vintage was ripe, generous and complex, according to Trapet)Stephen Tanzer1st May 2019
