Château Trotanoy--Vintage 1994
Pomerol
In original wooden case
"As a longtime fan of this property, I have been candid about my disappointment with most vintages of Trotanoy between 1983 and 1989. Certainly the 1990 appeared to be a return to the big, burly, concentrated style of Trotanoy produced in the forties, fifties, sixties, and early seventies. I am now convinced this property is on the rebound, as a result of sensational efforts in 1993, 1994, and the 1995, the latter wine the greatest Trotanoy since the 1970 and 1982. A dark ruby/purple color and a closed set of aromatics need to be probed to find the sweet, ripe fruit that appears to have gone into hiding since bottling. The masculine 1994 Trotanoy is backward, powerful, and in need of 5-7 years of cellaring. It is rich and medium to full-bodied, with outstanding fruit extraction, beefy, burly, and a true vin du garde. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2020." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #109 (Feb 1999)
