Chateau Trotanoy, Pomerol 2005

"This blockbuster 2005 with sweet black cherries, cassis, earth and white chocolate in both aromas and flavors. A strong, mineral-dominated, powerful wine, it is extremely backward, super-concentrated, and tasting more like blood of Merlot than any other Pomerol. Dense purple, super-rich, and stunning. An absolutely spectacular effort from this great terroir, it can be drunk now, but patience will be rewarded. " - Robert Parker

"Gorgeous, with fig bread, licorice root, ganache and loam notes, this sports a hefty profile, with dark, earthy components matched to a well of mulled black currant and blackberry fruit. Shows a strong spine through the finish, revealing a tug of graphite that won't quit. " - Wine Spectator
