A CASE OF 1961 POMEROL
Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Offered duty-paid, but available in bond
Château Trotanoy--Vintage 1961
Pomerol
One slightly depressed cork, one with signs of seepage. Two cut capsules reveal château and vintage branded corks. Slightly bin-soiled labels. Non-integrated U.S. import slip labels. Levels: nine base of neck, three top-shoulder
Tasting Note: The 1961, which I have consistently rated between 96 and 100, is unquestionably the greatest Trotanoy in the post World War II era. The wine's saturated, thick, inky, plummy colour reveals slight amber at the edge. The magnificent bouquet of jammy black-raspberries, smoke, cloves, tar, and caramel is a knock-out. With dense, unctuous, thick, sweet, rich flavors loaded with glycerin and extract, this massive, full-bodied, stunningly rich, fully mature wine is capable of lasting for another 10-20 years. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 95 October 1994
