Trotanoy - Pomerol 2001

Trotanoy - Pomerol 2001

long tannins make this a sumptuous mouthful of wine with a finish of close to 45+ seconds

stunningly rich flavors that dance across the palate and the length here is flat out phenomenal

This isn't quite as deeply colored as the '95 Charmes (see herein) and the expressive nose is consistent with this as there is more evident maturity to the secondary fruit and earth aromas that display hints of sous-bois

Generous wood is present on the ultra-fresh and incredibly spicy nose that reflects notes of reserved red berries

hile the wood treatment is certainly evident it's more subtle on the overtly cool and restrained nose that is markedly spicy with its combination of relatively high-toned aromas of red cherry

sticks out from the crowd

Like the Mazis

black and blue fruit aromas that are displaying hints of maturity

This is so well-balanced that despite how young it is at present

needing no more time at all

A classic effort

The 2022 Promis from Gaja's Ca'Marcanda estate in Bolgheri is a vibrant blend of Merlot
