1999 Château Trotanoy
Community Tasting Note

92 Points
Monday, November 8, 2021 - We had this at our dinner on Friday, but it was really over shadowed by the other wines and I felt like I barely tasted it. Opened another today and gave it 2+ hours of air after a double decant.
Classic pomerol nose, red fruit. Really vibrant and fresh. Long finish. As another CT reviewer said you can almost taste the clay.
I often feel we do ourselves a disservice drinking so many good wines in one sitting, rather than savoring the uniqueness of each bottle.

I think you are 100% correct that sometimes it is nice to just sit back and savor and appreciate one particular wine! BTW....I am a huge Trotanoy fan! Have not had the 1999 though!
