Chateau Trotonoy Pomerol 2006 (750ml)

Brooding and powerful, this Trotanoy shows a muscular frame of meaty black cherry fruit, crushed rocks and earthy truffle. Deep and full-bodied, the palate is layered with notes of blood orange, dried apricot, tobacco and autumn leaves. Despite its density, the wine retains freshness and definition, with tightly knit tannins that will require patience to fully unfurl. Built for the long haul, this is an earthy, brawny Pomerol that rewards those who appreciate depth, structure and authenticity. True connoisseurs' material, with a long, savoury finish dusted in minerality.
