Gevrey Chambertin Ostrea Trapet Pere et Fils 2016 (750ML)

90-92 Points, Neal Martin, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: " The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin "Ostrea" has a more complex bouquet than the regular Gevrey Village cru, leaning a little more to the red side of the fruit spectrum than the black, with chalk and limestone scents emerging with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe tannin, a fresh line of acidity, quite pure in the mouth with a silky smooth finish that lingers. I love the mineralité here." 12/17

91 Points, John Gilman, View from the Cellar: " The 2016 Ostrea bottling from Jean-Louis Trapet is a fine wine in the making, but it is more structured and reserved at the present time than the straight Gevrey. The bouquet is still quite primary, but with a bit of coaxing offers up scents of black cherries, grilled meats, a fine base of black minerality, espresso, a bit of bonfire and a discreet framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep full-bodied and quite closed at the present time, with a rock solid core, fine soil signature, ripe, well-integrated tannins and impressive length and grip on the wellbalanced and youthful finish. This will be an outstanding example, but give it some time! 2022-2055." 11/17
