Lot #118. Trotanoy 1961

Description: Consists of 2 Bottles, 0.75L
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
Provenance: The Farallon Cellar
Notes: Very top shoulder, lightly scuffed capsules, bin soiled, lightly scuffed, lightly glue stained and nicked labels, import strips partially covering labels.
