Community Tasting Note

Friday, October 20, 2017 - A lost Friday afternoon gathering – 75 Trotanoy, 07 Roumier BM and 10 Jobard Les Tillets that we all guessed at the Roulot. (Blacksalt, Washington DC): Incredibly complex noble nose displaying subtle black fruit, caramel, milk chocolate, mocha, black truffle, lactic, cedar, leather and mineral. Excellent concentration, unbelievably layered subtle black fruit, silky and polished, perfect amount of acidity and mineral, still a hint of tannins and the finish that never ends. The nose and the palate of this particular bottle is so clean which is unusual from the 70’s Bordeaux. I am flabbergasted by the incredible showing. I recently acquired nine bottles and I am ecstatic.

I got curious and checked Bob’s old tn from Feb, 1996.

“This wine has been drinking splendidly for several years, exhibiting fabulous mocha/toffee/jammy black-cherry aromas in a complex, sweet, fragrant bouquet. Full-bodied, splendidly concentrated, velvety-textured, with a firm finish, this is a weighty, rich, complex, great vintage for Trotanoy.”
