Chateau Trotanoy 2005

Product description

When ready, this wine shows enormous complexity and concentration and belongs to the most sought-after Pomerols. It can easily be kept 25 years or more in great vintages.

96 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Certainly, it is firm, with impressive power. But the smoothness of the ripe black fruits combined with the beautifully judged wood shows a contrast of tension with the dense, chewy core. This wine is dark, solid, and concentrated at its heart, promising long aging.

96 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Tasted at the Trotanoy vertical in Hong Kong, the 2005 Trotanoy has been an awesome Pomerol since birth. Now at 12 years old, the "giant" is beginning to flex its muscles. It has more red than black fruit, more floral than the likes of the 2000 or 2001, beautifully defined with raspberry coulis, wild strawberry, clove and bay leaf, iris and violet unfurling with continued aeration. The palate has a lovely grainy texture and fine salinity. The acidity is extremely well judged, and the structure and backbone, perhaps even the stubbornness, define this great vineyard. There is enormous potential here. Tasted November 2016.
