Un nez sompteux et complexe introduit un vin incroyable de séduction. D'un équilibre qui frise la perfection, d'un raffinement de texture superbe, il traversera le temps.

D'une élégance suprême, avec des tanins qui le rendent déjà irrésistible, un grand pomerol classique, charnu et équilibré, doté d'une finesse exemplaire. Finale interminable.

I don't think this wine will ever live up to the extraordinary 1998, but it is not far off the mark. Dense plum/garnet-colored, it is closed aromatically, but aeration brings out hints of figs, black cherries, earth, and cedar. Sweet on the attack, dense, powerful, medium to full-bodied, and tannic, with a broodingly backward finish, patience will be required. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2030.

Aromas of barley, crushed berry and olives turn to flowers and blackberries. Full-bodied, with smooth and succulent tannins and a long berry, vanilla aftertaste. Fantastic. Lovely Trot here. Best after 2010

The 2000 is profound. A dense murky ruby/purple color is followed by sensational aromas of black fruits, cherries, figs, plums, truffles, and earth. Extremely full-bodied and deep, with huge flavor extraction, sweet but noticeable tannin, and a 50-second finish, this compelling Trotanoy signals a return to form for this great terroir, which, during the fifties, sixties, and early seventies, often rivaled Petrus.

The 2000 is a muscular offering with elegant, deep, concentrated flavors. An earthy concoction of truffles, caramel, mocha, cherries, currants, and plums is followed by a big, deep, masculine wine with moderately high tannin, abundant power, and exceptional concentration. There is enough sweetness to balance the tannin, but this 2000 needs cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2022.
