Note di degustazione
Tasted blind. Mid ruby-garnet colour. Luscious aromatics of cured meats, brambly fruit and dried herbs on the nose. The palate leads with red fruit and leathery spices. The tannins are fine, but firm. This needs to knit together and shed some spice, but there seem to be good bones here. (TP)

The 2017 TrotteVieille is a deep, beguiling and super-intriguing wine. Mocha, tobacco and spice start to emerge from the glass. There is good depth overall, but the oak imprint is strong to the point of being overpowering.
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Trotte Vieille gives up notes of baked plums, stewed black cherries and dried mulberries with touches of spice cake, chocolate box and new leather with a waft of cedar. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has great density and weight with a firm level of rounded tannins and lovely freshness, finishing on a compelling mineral note.
The 2017 Trotte Vieille has a fresh, perfumed and quite floral bouquet with ample blackberry, raspberry coulis and light oyster shell aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe tannins. This is a dense Trotte Vieille, but very smooth and seductive, the new oak nicely integrated. It feels cohesive and quite feisty on the finish. Excellent.
