Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | Restrained, this Trotanoy has a muscular, intense structure, but is delicate and has an haute couture satin touch. | 96

Michael Schuster | Dense and closed to smell, no surprise there! Rich, dense, fresh, muscularly tannic, a fine, large- scale Pomerol balance; deep, sweet, spicy, with an abundance of ripe fruit, beautifully fresh, within a particularly fine-grained tannin; mouthcoatingly rich and fragrant, very long to taste, a wine of huge scope, wonderfully seductive, with great fruit-fragrant persistence. So long in every respect, so fine-textured in its tannin, a great, splendidly complete Trotanoy. 2038–70+. | 95–97
