Reviews & Scores
Mature, but still lovely and remarkably fresh for its age. The once-deep colour shows a bit of bricking near the rim, yet the bouquet still has a beautiful sweet fruit that melds notes of fig, plum and caramel with a hint of smoke, sous-bois and truffle. Despite the reputation of this vintage as tannic (particularly sometimes for Trotanoy), I found the texture supple and giving, with enough fruit still to sustain the mid-palate. There is a bewitching note that is almost honey on the finish that makes this wine moreish indeed. - DC

This Belgian-bottled ’66 was the first example I had tasted of Trotanoy from this vintage, and the wine was absolutely stellar. I have to give it a slight nod over the more powerful, but less elegant and complex ’64 Trotanoy that I tasted last year. The bouquet is deep, refined and in full bloom, soaring from the glass in a mélange of plums, blood orange, mulberries, loads of black truffles, chocolate, cigar smoke, strong soil tones and a delicate topnote of roses. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and beautifully balanced, with a core of juicy fruit, excellent structure, and a long, velvety and impeccably balanced finish. There remains just a whiff of melted tannin here, but the wine’s blood orange acidity continues to give the wine shape and grip on the finish. This is a great Trotanoy- can the château bottling be even better than this stellar example? - JG

The 1966 Trotanoy has always been an impressive wine on the three or four occasions that I have tasted it. This bottle was special because it was brought to a private dinner in Bordeaux with a mutual friend, by the man who made it, Jean-Claude Berrouet. It still has semblances to Lafleur on the nose: a bit serious and aloof, reflecting both terroir and vintage, stern perhaps, yet very well defined with brine-tinged black fruit. The palate is structured and unapologetically masculine, possessing gritty tannin but with the fruit to back it up. Afforded an hour to notice development, I did find that it lost its composure a little and became slightly volatile, yet it remains a swarthy, uncompromising Pomerol. The best bottles will still have another ten years on the clock. Tasted April 2016. - WA
