CHATEAU TROTANOY 1970 |

Château Trotanoy 1970 Pomerolu. 4bn, 1vts, 3ts, 1t/hs, scuffed and stained labels, cellar-soiled bottles, slightly corroded capsules, excellent color and clarityIncredibly scented, aromatic wine gums on the nose. A touch of meatiness too, which is not pejorative in my book - think Bazas beef juices! Saturated spices. Huge impact and flavour on the palate - some family resemblance with the 1975. The fruit is so sweet at the end. This has to be in the top 3 or 4 in the whole of Bordeaux in this year and it certainly sits as the peak in Pomerol with Petrus in 1970.
