Community Tasting Note

Mr Coone Likes this wine: 95 points
September 2, 2016 - First Tertre Rôteboeuf I ever tasted.
Tasted next to a Pavie 2001, Pichon Baron 1996 and a La Conseillante 2001.
- view: cherry red, little evolution in the colour
- nose: lactic, toast, smoke and a little bit of soja. Little floral hint after whirling.
- palate: silky start. High acids and tannins, but nicely balanced.
Lactic in the mouth with hints of red fruit, vanila and chocolate. Long finish.
A particular taste I haven't tasted a lot before.

If you are not already booked, you should try Les Belles Perdrix de Troplong Mondot (restaurant at Troplong Mondot where they serve their elixir by the glass). Le Clos du Roy is a special little restaurant. Are you visit Chateau Trotte Vieille? We are joining a dinner with the owner tonight. Happy to make an introduction. So many places in St. Emillion!!! We envy you!!!

Promising to read that you can buy their wine by the glass!
And I think we visited le Clos du Roy last year.
Indeed many nice places to visit in St Emilion :-) -
