Tasting Notes
A deep nose of blueberries, with chocolate mousse that turns to licorice and hints of rose petal. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins that fill your mouth. But they are always soft and caressing. They last for minutes. I love the texture to this wine. it is like plush velvet. Best in 2018, but so inviting now. James Suckling, jamessuckling.com

Deep colour. Intense. Firm but refined tannins. Caressing attack, exceptional fruit then great persistence on the finish. Trademark minerally freshness provides balance. Drink 2020-2045
A nose of dark chocolate and crushed raspberry evolves to blackberry and ripe raspberry. Full-bodied, with chewy and powerful tannins that leave a rich and mouthpuckering finish. This is a big and powerful Trot. Wow. Haven't tasted a Trot like this in decades
Firm and focused and very impressive. Hint of oyster shells. Tastes extraordinarily 'Cabernet' to me, despite being 90% Merlot - maybe because of the gravel. Very firm and mineral. Brisk palate scrub on the finish. Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com
