Saturday, October 7, 2006 - This is a puzzling wine. Ultra fruity and fleshy in its first decade of life, it's getting harder and firmer as the years pass. It's certainly fine and I hope it will come out of its shell eventually. But right now, this bottle is too wrapped up in its structure for ultimate pleasure, yet most of the critics say it's in its prime. I would never guess this as merlot/Pomerol. There seems to be a lot of bottle variation with the '82 Trotanoy. (This bottle was puchased last year at Premier Cru and the appearance was pristine and the cork firm but moist.)
