TN: 2004 Chateau Trotanoy

Color is a faded garnet with bricked rim. Nose opens savory and resolved. Damp earth and black tea on a backdrop of dried red fruit. No lush modern sheen. This is Trotanoy in an old soul register. Palate is medium-bodied and precise. Tannins are fully resolved but still structure the wine with grace. 04 as a vintage shows its modesty here. Trotanoy’s pedigree still hums.

In-laws fresh off the plane summed it up nicely: “Yummy.” Yep, sounds about right.

I have one bottle left, I like this vintage, just a notch behind 2001, another vintage that I liked very much. Have had both wines recently. Such a wonderful estate.
