53 procent Cabernet Franc, 44 procent Merlot og tre procent Cabernet Sauvignon. 15 procent alkohol i volumen. Fyldig næse af chokolade og sorte kirsebær med masser af lakrids. Ikke noget groft, bare meget fint. Stor finish, men også ret kraftig. Heldigvis næsten ingen sødme, men meget fokuseret og defineret. Fantastisk friskhed i munden. Rød frugt med surkirsebær, ribs, sorte kirsebær og silkebløde, elegante tanniner. En meget god, meget elegant Saint-Émilion, og endda en rigtig stor vin, når den smages to år senere!

2023 fremstår som et spektakulært, sanseligt nydelsesvidunder, der forener et varmt års modne fylde med en storslået, livlig friskhed. OG denne årgang regnes for at være et absolut hit, hvad angår pris og kvalitet, er yderst charmerende og byder fra første slurk på en uimodståelig, fængslende drikkeglæde.

Suckling om: Chateau Trotte Vieille 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Deep, perfumed and complex, with a touch of cocoa powder, sweet black plums, blackberries, chalk and refined spices. Well-structured, showing juicy, compressed fruit and fine, dusty tannins. Ripe but precise, with a racy finish of great balance and persistence. A blend of 53% cabernet franc, 44% merlot and 3% cabernet sauvignon. Already approachable but better after 2027 and well beyond.

Galloni om: Chateau Trotte Vieille 1er Grand Cru Classe B

The 2023 Trotte Vieille has really grown with élevage. Dark fruit, grilled herbs, menthol, licorice and chocolate stain the palate. Time in the glass brings out the wine's textural resonance and explosive energy. The long, sustained finish is a thing of beauty. Trotte Vieille, with its high percentage of Cabernet Franc, is one of the most distinctive wines in Bordeaux.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Trotte Vieille 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Coming from a seriously good terroir on the upper plateau of Saint-Emilion, the 2023 Château Trotte Vieille is always a more Cabernet Franc-dominated blend and one that needs air to show at its best. Its deep purple hue is followed by a ripe, powerful nose of crème de cassis and assorted darker, almost blue fruits intermixed with roasted herbs, tobacco, dark chocolate, and a kiss of violets. Concentrated and medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has ripe, sweet, yet building tannins and a great finish. It has enough fruit to offer pleasure today yet is built for the long haul as well. Hide bottles for 4-5 years if possible and enjoy over the following two decades. Drink 2029-2053.
