Château Trottevielle 2012
A serious effort, the 2012 Trottevieille boasts an inky/purple color as well as a tannic, masculine style that begs for some bottle age. Impressively concentrated with notes of licorice, black currants and a subtle touch of oak, and a powerful, long finish, this is a noteworthy effort in a challenging vintage. Forget it for 2-3 years and drink it over the following two decades.
Blend : Merlot , Cabernet franc , Cabernet sauvignon.
