Chateau Trotanoy 2003 6er Holzkiste

Parker: The 2003 Trotanoy has put on weight since last year and seems a somewhat safer bet than it did when I tasted it nine months ago. Still muscular, chewy, potent, and structured, and somewhat atypically tannic and dense for a 2003 Pomerol, it boasts a deep ruby/plum color in addition to a big sweet nose of black fruits, road tar, saddle leather, and hot rocks. Some black cherries and meaty notes also emerge as the wine sits in the glass. Medium to full-bodied, powerful, and chewy, it needs 2-5 years of cellaring, and should last for two decades.
