Note di degustazione
Tension and poise, exactly as you hope to find in a 15 year old Trotanoy. Incense, smoke, exotic and perfumed, undergrowth, old books, tar, peonies, the beginning of tertiary character. Unusually for a Trotanoy of this age, I would say this is a good time to drink, and in its drinking window. 50% new oak for ageing.

The 2009 Trotanoy has a broody and what feels like Cabernet-driven bouquet, well defined with touches of cigar box and forest floor. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, taut red berry fruit laced with sage, white pepper, hints of fennel and a refreshingly saline finish. This is very promising although, it does not quite possess the persistence of its peers. Sultry, almost saturnine...I guess this is Trotanoy? Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting.
Tasted blind. Colour is a bit smudgy. Dusty nose. But there is some life and freshness here even if it’s a bit dry on the end. (JR)
Informazioni sul produttore
Château Trotanoy was one of the first recognised Premier Cru sites on the Pomerol plateau, with records dating back to the late 1700s. Even back in the nineteenth century it was seen as the best site in Pomerol second only to Vieux Château Certan.
