JAMES SUCKLING: "The focus and polish are so enticing, reminding me of a seamless piece of the finest cashmere. Medium to full body with blackberry, tapenade and dark-chocolate character. A hint of salt at the end. 100% merlot."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2023 Trotanoy is showing brilliantly, wafting from the glass with aromas of dark berries, rose petals, baking chocolate, spices and pencil shavings, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and elegantly muscular palate that's rich, dense and powerful, while remaining unusually sensual and harmonious for the standards of an estate that can sometimes produce hulking, monolithic wines. Concentrated and penetrating, it's an especially strong performer this year."

FALSTAFF: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, tiefer Kern, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Feine Edelholzwürze, reife Kirschen, ein Hauch von Brombeerkonfit, Nuancen von frischen Kräutern, kandierte Orangenzesten, floraler Touch von kandierten Veilchen. Komplex, elegant und saftig, seidige, reife Tannine, feine Extraktsüße im Abgang, lange anhaftend, harmonisch, mit sicherem Entwicklungspotenzial ausgestattet."
