Currency Estimate
A bottle of 1997 Château Trotanoy from the Pomerol appellation in Bordeaux.
Trotanoy is a seven hectare estate producing an average of 40,000 bottles per year from plantings of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.
The 1997 is an atypically structured, rich, powerful wine for the vintage, with hard tannin in the finish. It is ripe and medium bodied, with surprising depth as well as copious quantities of plum, cherry, currant, truffle, herb, and earth aromas and flavors. Could this be a modern-day version of the underrated 1967? It should age for 12+ years. Last tasted, 3/02.
