Trotte Vieille Vintage:2014 ) Harmony and complexity will

) Harmony and complexity will still take time

Give it an hour or 2 in the decanter

except that it seemed like an interesting anecdote to share

powerful and concentrated flavors that deliver outstanding length

as it sits in the glass the tannins become ever more apparent and patience will be an absolute necessity

Trotte Vieille Vintage:2014 ) Harmony and complexity willThe 2016 Trotte Vieille is blessed with a finely tuned bouquet of brambly red berry fruit, orange pith and light rose petal scents that unfurl with aeration. The medium bodied palate delivers supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Fresh and pliant, with a gorgeous, silky finish that feels very persistent. This is an utterly charming and noble Saint milion. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. Neal Martin
