2016 Château Trotanoy

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Saturday, May 27, 2023 - 90 min decant.
Nose: Rich perfumed dark fruit.
Palate: Dense and intense. Core of acid supporting blackberry and plum fruit, saline and licorice, gritty med+ tannic grip to spare. Looong finish. 15% Alc.

Tried this young in the name of science. I'm a Burg guy: if you told me you were pouring a Merlot-Cab Franc blend I'd have said "Meh", but this is impressive, delicious and clearly has many years of positive development to go.

I think it can be enjoyed now with a decant if you don't mind the tannins, but its made for the long haul. If I can keep my hands off them, I'll wait 3-5 years till the next one.
