  A fairly good showing for this Trotanoy, which was favored by the group in a tasting of old Bordeaux. To me, the tannins are still harsh while the fruit is fading. The right bank '82s were almost all better a decade ago while many of there left bank examples are still vibrant.

  My seventh encounter with this wine since 2018 and another stunning example from magnum. It shows why Merlot should never be put in a corner. The majestic expansiveness and depth that the clay of Pomerol imbues on this cépage! Yet for all of its decadent pleasure, it retains a medium body and good acid, framing its black and red plum, Perigord truffle, ganache, and gamebird notes in a gulpable, digestible package.

  It is impossible not to be enthralled by its purity, strong truffle, plum and chocolate-coated cherry nose and even more importantly, its silky, sexy, exotic palate presence. Fully mature, this is a lesson in what great, fully/mature is all about. Drink from 2023-2033.

  It’s interesting due to the complexity and subtlety but there is only vestigial fruit. A lot of brown at the rim and creeping towards the center. It’s more dried thyme, coffee and leather than berry or flower. I don’t know if it is just this bottle or if they are all OTH.
