Chateau Trotanoy 2018 Pomerol
James Suckling beschreibt den Chateau Trotanoy 2018 Pomerol wie folgt:Super nose of dried blueberry, black plum, walnut, myrrh and sandalwood. Lavender, violet, and chocolate, too. Ripe with wood now, but fresh. It’s full-bodied with firm, ultra fine tannins. Lots of dark spice is interlaced with the ripe fruit, giving this complex, perfumed character. Muscular, long and seamless with incredible depth and concentration. Reminds me of the great 2009, but this is better with more structure. Amazing wine. This is 100% merlot. Try from 2027.
Antonio Galloni im März 2021: The 2018 Trotanoy is a bold, powerful wine. In this vintage, some of the imposing structure that is such a Trotanoy signature has been replaced by super-expressive aromatics and striking detail. Dried herbs, iron, gravel and crushed rose petals all lend gorgeous savory nuance to a core of potent red berry fruit. Trotanoy is a Pomerol for those who can be patient. The 2018, though, is extraordinarily beautiful right out of the gate.
11.03.2021 Jeb Dunnuck: Another heavenly Pomerol in the vintage, the 2018 Château Trotanoy checks in as 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc brought up in (I suspect) lots of new French oak (although it's certainly not apparent). Revealing a dense purple hue as well as a smorgasbord-like bouquet of blackcurrants, dried flowers, cured meats, violets, tobacco, and chocolate, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a sexy, seductive texture, building yet sweet tannins, and just a rich, concentrated, yet flawless profile on the palate that's already impossible to resist. Nevertheless, a good 7-8 years of bottle age are warranted, and this magical elixir is going to evolve for 40 years or more.
31.03.2021 Lisa Perrotti Brown: The 2018 Trotanoy is composed of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it slowly unfurls to reveal a jaw-dropping perfume of Black Forest cake, black raspberries, blackberry pie and kirsch, followed by hints of cast-iron pan, violets, woodsmoke, Chinese five spice and eucalyptus, with a waft of tree bark. The full-bodied palate explodes with exotic spice and mineral fireworks, grounded by a concentrated, black and red berry preserves core and framed by firm, grainy tannins, finishing with epic length and depth. It will need a good five years in bottle to tame some of the youthfully overt, showy fruit and allow the mineral and earth nuances to emerge, then it should easily cellar another 35 years or more
James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Trotanoy 2018 Pomerol wie folgt:This is such a pinpointed and precise wine that shows a fantastic center palate of ripe and rich fruit with a combination of chocolate and cedar. Full-bodied. racy and focused. Lasts for minutes.
James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Trotanoy 2018 Pomerol wie folgt:Gorgeous. showing hefty structure throughout. carrying waves of tobacco- and charcoal-coated cassis. steeped plum and warm fig fruit. The dense finish is packed together now and seriously long. A very complete wine that helps set the bar in this vintage.
Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Trotanoy 2018 Pomerol wie folgt:The 2018 Trotanoy is insanely beautiful. Remarkably finessed. and. dare I say it understated. for a young Trotanoy. the 2018 speaks with a regal. aristocratic tone. The classic sense of verticality and depth that is such a Trotanoy signature is present. but I am also very much struck by the level of detail and overall precision in the wine. Dark stone fruit. licorice. gravel and lavender are some of the many notes that begin to develop in the glass. but ultimately. Trotanoy is a wine to treasure for its exquisite balance. und vergibt ihm 96-99 Punkte.

CB Weinhandel bewertet den Chateau Trotanoy 2018 Pomerol wie folgt:
90 Merlot 10 Cabernet Franc von einem 7.2 ha grossen Terroir. Sehr dicht und kraftvoll im Kern. ein nahezu undurchsichtiger Wein bis kurz vor den Rand. Die Nase zeigt sich komplex. mit viel Tiefe in den Aromen. sie zieht einen in den Bann. reife süssliche Kirsche. Waldbeeren. und Schokolade. Im Mund kraftvoll und dicht. diese unglaubliche Eleganz zur selben Zeit. die Säure ist ultrafein. Und dann dieses kühlende fast salzige Finale. unglaublich. Bereits jetzt ein nahezu perfekter Wein. und vergibt ihm 98-100 Punkte.
