Good, but not compelling. With 10 minutes in the glass, the wine filled out a but, softened and picked up more silkiness, but more concentration and depth was needed here. Still, tasting a legendary bottle from Trotanoy was more than a treat for this Pomerol lover.

Trotanoy Vertical with Edouard Moueix (Nomad): Pure elegance. It was a toss-up between the 1959 and the 1961 as both were magnificent. The 59 had the more fragrant nose but the 61 won on the palate. This took a while to express itself but then really shined. Trotanoy vertical 1945-1982 (+1998, 2009,2010)

Van den Hove Bruxelles bottling. Top Shoulders fill. Audouzed for 3h.
Blood iron, plums and tobacco. Pretty sweet - may be got a touch of port thrown in at bottling? Still full of life. Long and tasty. Lots of sediment, though, so had to leave the 1/4 of a bottle untouched.

TN: Twelve from 1959, six from 1952-1962 and a 1929 La Conseillante, in secret.: With a number of wines already showing some remarkably sweet fruit, this one showed the sweetest of the night, though the Ausone was a tough act to follow. There's a rush of black and red fruit aromas with baked clay, a touch of herb and game. While sweet and sappy on the palate, the fruit is a bit more coy than that of the Ausone and doesn't quite have the same length or depth. The fruit is blacker and has a cocoa and licorice alongside it. There's a little bit of VA present, but nothing to get upset over and there's some blood orange on the finish. Despite a couple of shortcomings, the wine still feels young and provides immense pleasure. A.
