    This must be a seriously mistreated bottle with heat damage. Soy and celery and too old. See my previous notes about good bottles.

  • 1989 Château La Conseillante 94 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol

    Extremely beautiful bouquet with beautiful autumn forest flavors. On the palate licorice, chocolate sweet licorice root and autumn forest floor impressions. Full bodied and an enormous length, but in fact the tannin is drying (in the wrong way). Probably wise not to wait until 2035 as is in CT now.

Flight 6 (3 Notes)

  • 2009 Château Trotanoy 96 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol

    One note for the 2009 Trotanoy, VCC and Conseillante. The Trotanoy already shows some development and creamy dark and red berries. On the palate a full bodied and expressive wine with juicy red berries, good acidity and round tannin. Truly great already. The VCC is the most classical, has some coffee and mocha in the bouquet and on the palate firm and even some green impressions. A great and complex wine, but it probably needs many more years to show all of its finesse. Like the VCC the Conseillante is still too young. Also some green impressions, firm acidity and tannin. For the moment the Trotanoy is the biggest treat: 96. The VCC and Conseillante both hold a promise and might score 96+ as well, but for the moment I scored them 95.
