Think of this wine as the 1998 on steroids! This wine has put on considerable weight. It is full-bodied, masculine (as most vintages of Trotanoy tend to be), with loads of earthy, foresty notes intermixed with black and red fruits, a meaty, almost charcuterie note to it, an inky/purple color, some sweetness on the attack...The texture is layered, the purity impressive, and the overall symmetry, balance and integration of all of the wine's building blocks are flawless.

Best with a lot of decanting and food. Sit for about 4 hours and then still needed time and air.

Quite a good mistake after all. Won at auction by mistake. Opened around 2pm. Incredible nose. Like sweet summer strawberries and raspberries mixed up. Then drank it slowly through dinner of prime strip steak. Fantastic.
