Product Description
LP99 "The 2009 Trotanoy is deep garnet in color. It gallops out with powerful scents of plum preserves, blueberry compote, and candied violets, leading to nuances of mocha, licorice, and tapenade, plus a waft of smoked meats. Full-bodied, rich, and impressively dense, the generous black fruit and savory layers are supported by firm, yet velvety, tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with epically long, lingering, earthy notes. Wow!" LPB for TWI Feb 2024
RP98+ "An absolutely prodigious wine, the dense purple 2009 Trotanoy exudes extraordinary notes of minerals, forest floor, sweet black currants and black cherry jam along with floral notes and graphite. Very full-bodied, with silky tannins, fabulous opulence and palate presence, this terrific wine should be at its best in 7-10 years and last for 20 or more. Think of it as a more concentrated, “bigger” version of the extraordinary 1998." RP Dec 2011
