Tasted blind as a vintage comparison at the Valandraud vertical the 2008 Trotanoy has an attractive bouquet with engaging clarity and purity: raspberry preserve wild strawberry a trace of something almost medicinal just below the surface. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and a crisp line of acidity subtle notes of cedar and tar infusing the red berry fruit with a composed structured finish with plenty of freshness and vigor. Classic in style well crafted and sure to give another two decades of pleasure this is a stupendous Trotanoy that is up there with the 2009 and 2010 . Yes it's that good and in fact it kept on improving as it opened in the glass. Tasted December 2016.
