1990 Trottevieille - Saint-Emilion, Bordeaux, France

1990 Trottevieille: A pronounced animal and mushroom nose that was not very agreeable to me at least – though some enjoyed this wine. I preferred the palate, which had body and texture – even a good edge to it – though the finish was short.

2000 Trottevieille - Saint-Emilion, Bordeaux, France

2000 Trottevieille: A coconut nose (oak?) with some blueberry and blackberry fruit aromas as well as on the palate – which is, I wrote, “edgy” with acidity. Time in glass (about 15 minutes) allowed this wine to fill out a bit leaving an impression of balance. Good finish, though some found it rather simple! No votes.
