Trotanoy - Pomerol (Futures Estimated Arrival Fall 2025) 2022 (Pre-arrival) (750ml)
James Suckling: 99-100 Points
4 Apr 2023 ? Floral and tensioned with precision that gives it incredible brightness. It?s dreamy and energetic with purity and serenity. Full-bodied yet structured and polished. Dynamic young wine. Merlot and cabernet franc blend.
Jeb Dunnuck: 96-98 Points
Smoked earth leather graphite and tobacco as well as a massive amount of ripe red and black fruits emerge from the 2022 Château Trotanoy a rich structured powerful Pomerol with a stacked mid-palate building tannins and a great great finish. It's one of the few Pomerols that has the capacity to match what they achieved in 2018 and 2020.
vVinous: 96-98 Points
The 2022 Trotanoy was picked 1-19 September. Clean and precise on the nose yet obdurate (no surprise) and demanding that you will have to wait at least a decade. This is a Trotanoy that has resolved to keep everything up its sleeve aromatically. The palate is more compelling with its cathedral-like structure judicious sprinkling of black pepper and its uncompromising grippy yet detailed finish. Immense?in a good way.
Wine Advocate: 94-95 Points
The 2022 Trotanoy offers up rich aromas of blackberries cherries licorice and sweet spices followed by a full-bodied rich and tannic palate that's broad shouldered powerful and concentrated. As ever this is the most muscular structured robust wine in the Mouiex portfolio a shorter than usual maceration notwithstanding and it will require patience.
