Château Trotanoy 2006

Tasted blind at Southwold '06 Bordeaux tasting. The Trotanoy has exquisite definition on the nose: more floral with violets interlacing the blueberry, cassis and damson fruit, with underlying mineralite that will develop with time. The palate is medium-bodied, tensile tannins, electric acidity, muscular with lifted black fruits, well-integrated toasty new oak, leading to an opulent finish. This is just a baby, but what a bonny one it is. Great potential. Tasted January 2010. Score - 95+. (Neal Martin, robertparker.com, Jul. 30, 2010) 750 mL bottle
