Critics Scores

Wine Spectator

Lovely floral, blackberry, jam and cherry aromas follow through to a full-bodied palate with velvety yet firm tannins and a long finish. Very tight and chewy yet balanced and fresh. Best after 2010.

James Suckling

Beautifully intense fruit here, with a raspberry jam and floral character on the nose. Full and round, soft and silky. A very long finish with amazing fruit, almost like a new world wine with its juiciness. Drinking this is pure excitement.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

As always, the 2003 Trotanoy is a meaty, burly style of wine, but the tannins have all been resolved. A dark plum/ruby color is accompanied by sweet black currant and mulberry notes intertwined with hints of truffles and earth. This medium- to full-bodied, delicious Pomerol is clearly one of the finest 2003s made in this appellation, whose lighter soils did not fare well in this vintage. Trotanoy’s clay and deep minerality have saved it. (RP)

Wine Enthusiast

A wine which is dominated by sweet fruit, the sheer exuberance of the fruit dominating the huge, dark tannins. This will be a wonderful, intensely fruity wine
