  My first Trotanoy too and somehow quite congruent with my expectations - (including that I was drinking this too young to get anything close to its best - even with a long decant). Deep, profound, 'aristocratic' - a Pomerol which emanates quality from the opening. A somewhat tightly coiled, but not entirely ungiving, core of dark, pure fruit; dark chocolate; very fine and well integrated oak; ripe & fine but still somewhat stern tannins; a touch of something green - tobacco leaf ? - nothing to detract from the wine. Overall, clearly 'outstanding' win WSET terms. A very impressive, rich, powerful, full-bodied, beautifully balanced Bordeaux in a classical idiom. Already pleasurable, especially with the right food, but once the tannins have polymerised further, the fruit opened up and greater complexity developed, then this will be wonderous. A chateau I'd love to get better acquainted with.

  Spectaculaire. Premier Trotanoy, pas mon dernier. Profondeur, longueur, complexité, au nez en bouche. Impeccable!

  Seductive nose of dark cherries and plums, flowers, baking spices, and a hint of dried coconut. A touch above medium-bodied, an orb of earth and dark cherry on the midpalate, midbodied refined tannins, length for days, finishes with a dried herb and dark chocolate note. Very polished wine.

  No formal notes, over dinner. Quite expressive and open in the nose - generous red fruit, spices, tobacco, hints of licorice - very attractive and fine. On the palate a little more angular. Ripe fruit, bright acidity, noticeable tannins. Medium depth, very good length. 91-93?
