Lot #28. Château Trotanoy 1961

Description: Consists of 1 Magnum, 1.5L
Region: France, Bordeaux, Pomerol.
Score: 98 RP.
"Tasted 7 times with consistent notes. The 1961, which I have consistently rated between 96 and 100, is unquestionably the greatest Trotanoy in the post-World War II era. The wine's saturated, thick, inky, plummy color reveals slight amber at the edge. The magnificent bouquet of jammy black-raspberries, smoke, cloves, tar, and caramel is a knock-out. With dense, unctuous, thick, sweet, rich flavors loaded with glycerin and extract, this massive, full-bodied, stunningly rich, fully mature wine is capable of lasting . . ." Wine Advocate #95, Oct 1994
Notes: Base neck, lightly wrinkled capsule, cut and partially removed prior to specialist inspection revealing chateau and vintage branded cork, bin soiled and very lightly scuffed label, nicked at edge.
