19 RENÈ GABRIEL´S BX TOTAL: "Tiefes, würziges, komplexes, mineralisches Bouquet, Erdbeeren, Brombeeren, Pralinen, Graphit, Mocca. Dichter, kraftvoller, samtener Gaumen mit viel guter Frucht, gutem Tannin, dichtverwobener, fein muskulöser Struktur, kräftiger, dunkler Aromatik, sehr langer, dichter Abgang mit vielen Rückaromen, Lakritze, Rauch. 19/20 2022 - 2045!"
95 WINESPECTATOR: "Dense, featuring a loamy edge that runs throughout, while the core of crushed plum, fig and blackberry fruit plays out slowly. Licorice root and warm stone notes pervade the finish. A bit brooding, but give this time, as the lurking fresh bay, tobacco and iron elements should develop with age. Best from 2020 through 2035. 1,625 cases made."
95 WINE ENTHUSIAST: "This is a powerfully structured wine from a 18-acre property on the plateau of Pomerol. Rich Merlot dominates and gives the wine both its alcohol and its intense tannins and juicy red fruits. The wine is dense with the potential for aging over a considerable time. Drink from 2025."
97 JAMES SUCKLING: "Spellbinding aromas of flowers such as lilacs and honeysuckle with strawberries and blackberries. Full-bodied, super tight and polished with wonderful finesse and length. Seamless, fine tannins give this endless mouthfeel. Drink in 2022."
92-95 ANTONIO GALLONI: "A massively endowed wine, the 2014 Trotanoy hits the palate with serious depth and intensity. Dark cherry, plum, smoke and new leather are some of the many shades of nuances that flesh out in the glass. The overall feeling is one of breadth, power and resonance, all signatures of this site. Far from an easygoing wine, the 2014 Trotanoy is likely to require at least 10-15 years to start showing and will last well beyond that. Today, though, I find the style a bit monolithic, especially within the context of the other wines in the Mouiex stable."
95 THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Silky, smooth, soft, sensuous and velvety, with layers of sweet, fresh plum, cocoa, dark chocolate with violets in the perfume. The wine is rich, sexy and promises even more complexity with time."
97 THE WINEADVOCATE: "The 2014 Trotanoy had (que surprise!) closed down on the nose compared to its JP Moueix stablemates. A few swirls of the glass and it reveals very precise, mineral-soaked black fruit laced with black truffle and subtle sous-bois aromas. It soon gathers momentum and the aromas were gaining more and more intensity after five minutes. The palate is outstanding. There is brilliant structure here, immense and almost staggering purity, incredible focus and tension with an electrifying spiciness on the finish. Best Pomerol of the vintage? The only thing wrong with that last sentence is the question mark at the end."
