Château TrotteVieille St Emilion Grand Cru Premier Grand Cru Classé B 2003
One of the most surprising 2003s that you can find at this point, in that it is still fragrant and fresh, sculpted and juicy, and absolutely at a beautiful moment to drink. Asteries limestone with very shallow soil cover, right on the St Emilion plateau, has performed its magic trick with what was a hot, dry summer and early harvest. Espresso, blueberry, raspberry puree, chocolate flavours abound, with a saline kiss on the finish. The tannins are mellow, sun-sweetened and relaxed at 19 years old, and still keeping things together.
