  One for the hedonists. This poured an opaque purple with no signs of age. Dark aromatic profile of blackberry liqueur, fig, creosote, tar, iron and a hint of sweetness later emerging with air. A full, plush mouthful of dark plummy fruit with mouthwatering acidity pulling it all together. Most of the action here was on the front to mid palate. Some tannic grip on the finish. This shows quite young still with a lot of primary fruit. Absolutely delicious and I suspect it has a long runway and further upside ahead.

  The 08 Trotanoy was rich and tightly coiled. Lots of underlying substance but it still needs plenty of time to fully unfold. It needs a long decant if you must consume now.

  Taken to a BBQ. My last bottle. Classic soft merlot berries with hints of green tobacco and camphor. Some Lafleur-like mulberry. Drink now with air or feels this would be even better in a few years. Lovely texture already though. 93-94

  Bottle 5/6. Less expressive than prior bottles with a tannic spline. Deep purple fruit and flowers, tightly-wound morelo cherry finish. 93/100

  Bottle 4/6. This was more classic and a tad less exuberant than previous bottles. Some green notes and book leather and black fruit. 92-93
