Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, January 1998

This wine has developed magnificently over the last 4-5 years. More backward, and possibly even more concentrated than the 1970 Petrus (as well as more tannic), this huge, old style, massive, thick, rich wine is crammed with concentrated, chocolatey, berry fruit, with a hint of leather, smoked meat, and licorice. The wine's opaque garnet color reveals no sign of amber. The nose is just beginning to open. The flavors are so concentrated that I am going to go out on a limb and say this may be the most concentrated Trotanoy made in the post-World War II era. I suspect this wine can still be purchased for a relatively good price. Owners should plan on drinking it between 2000-2030. One of the three greatest wines of the vintage, the 1970 Trotanoy is the finest wine made at this estate save for the extraordinary 1961 and 1945.

Firm, focused and full of anise overtones to complement the ripe currant and plum flavors; chunky and solid on the finish.--Trotanoy vertical. Drink now. –HS

About Winery

Château Trotanoy is part of the Moueix family portfolio, which includes Pétrus, one of the auction world's top performers. Trotanoy's vineyards are located on the high western slope of the Pomerol plateau and are just a stone's throw away from the vineyards of Pétrus. In fact, many collectors seek this Merlot-based wine because it is made in a similar style to Pétrus, yet it can be purchased for a fraction of the price.
