Description of the Domaine Trapet
The gevrey reveals aromas of milk chocolate, violets, roses, and dark cherries. Suave, displaying massive amplitude and a full-bodied, velvety-textured character, this behemoth's flavor profile brings to mind chocolate-covered black cherries. Immensely powerful and noble, it offers an interminable finish
Allen Meadows : 91-93 points
"A more elegant and more floral-suffused nose reflects notes of both earth and dark berries with a hint of the sauvage lurking in the background. There is similarly good volume and mid-palate density to the delicious, round and relatively supple medium weight flavors that contrast markedly with the very firm, powerful and ever-so-slightly rustic finale. This is really very good and the rusticity may well age out."
