94 Points

Friday, March 10, 2023 - I continue to be impressed with this estate's consistency in producing outstanding wines in even mediocre vintages. Unfortunately my love affair with Trotanoy is becoming an expensive habit. The nose on this was just spectacular, brimming with ripe plum, leather and cigar notes. The palate took a while to catch up (it was better on day 2) and was a bit thin and disjointed initially, but when it did fill out, it made for a complex, complete, and utterly beguiling wine. Caressing on the palate, with aforementioned plum, cherry, pomegranate and cedar notes. Liquid silk. Not quite as good as the stunning '75, but mighty close.
