  "What fantastic aromas of dark fruits. At the same time, there’s a savory character of mushrooms, lead pencil, violets, bark and wet earth that always remains complex and sophisticated. It's medium- to full-bodied with very tight and fine tannins that run the full length of the wine. Wonderful polish and refinement. Classy. A bottle for your cellar. 50% cabernet franc, 45% merlot and 5% cabernet sauvignon. Best after 2030."

  Decanter
  "Concentrated and expressive aromas - the TrotteVieille signature scents emerge from the glass of tobacco, liquorice, dark chocolate, roses, violets and sweet blackcurrants. Smooth and determined, this pulses with energy and cooling freshness from the start, so juicy on the mid palate, mouthwateringly so but with a soft sweetness that is really pleasant and together with slightly chewy tannins gives a plentiful mouthfeel. Tannins have a salty grip and this ends mineral with a crushed stone salinity. The finish is a touch narrow suggesting this wine has such a long life ahead yet it's one I immediately wanted another glass of and is delicious to drink even now!"

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "The florality in the perfume, with its accents of mint, licorice, spice, and oceanic touches, is striking. The palate is silky, vibrant, and plush. The fruits are deep, intense, long, vibrant, and, most importantly, pure. There is length, complexity, opulence, balance, and a strong sensation of crushed stones, blackberries, chocolate, and plums in the finish you can taste and feel. 2022 marks the first time the estate included Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. TrotteVieille continues its non-stop string of successes. The wine blends 50% Cabernet Franc, 45% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink from 2027-2060."
