Professional reviews

Robert Parker (96)

One of the superstars of the vintage, the 2008 Trotanoy is a wine that transcends the vintage. Typically, this is not one of the more lush, sexy wines of Pomerol, but rather a muscular, masculine effort, and that’s the case in 2008. A deep purple color is followed by copious amounts of red and black fruit, earth, cedar and forest floor notes. The wine reveals a full-bodied texture, phenomenal concentration for a 2008, plenty of sweet tannin and a terrific finish. While it was surprisingly approachable, it will benefit from several years of cellaring and last 20-25 years. Bravo!

James Suckling (95)

This is very muscular for the vintage, with blueberries, minerals, flowers and stones. Full bodied and powerful with beautiful rich tannins and a long, long finish. So much going on.

Jancis Robinson (17)

Tasted blind. Deep crimson. Intense, rich nose with some real interest and the tannins and acidity subsumed by ripe fruit. Lots of energy here. Long. Good attack.

Rene Gabriel (19)

Rene Gabriel rates this wine 19/20 points.

Wine Enthusiast (95)

A dense wine, with great intensity of flavor. There are spice, mineral and blackberry flavors over dark plums, and a great depth of complex tannins and wood.
