Tasting Notes

93
Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book (4), December 2003

A fabulous success for Trotanoy, this wine has considerable potential, and may ultimately merit a higher score than I have bestowed it. The 1995 boasts a saturated deep purple color, followed by a knot-out nose of black truffles, cherries, raspberries, and kirsch fruit intermixed with spicy oak and beef blood-like scents. Full-bodied, dense, and as powerful and backward as its rival, Lafleur, this broad-shouldered, super-extracted Trotanoy is superb, but don't make the mistake of thinking it will provide easy-going drinking over the near-term. While splendid, this wine possesses extremely high tannin, and needs at least 7-8 years of cellaring.
