The 1966 Trotanoy has always been an impressive wine on the three or four occasions that I have tasted it. This bottle was special because it was brought to a private dinner in Bordeaux with a mutual friend, by the man who made it, Jean-Claude Berrouet. It still has semblances to Lafleur on the nose: a bit serious and aloof, reflecting both terroir and vintage, stern perhaps, yet very well defined with brine-tinged black fruit. The palate is structured and unapologetically masculine, possessing gritty tannin but with the fruit to back it up. Afforded an hour to notice development, I did find that it lost its composure a little and became slightly volatile, yet it remains a swarthy, uncompromising Pomerol. The best bottles will still have another ten years on the clock. Tasted April 2016.

The 1966 Trotanoy is utterly sublime. This is less “aloof” than past bottles, unfolding politely with classic aromas of black fruit, old leather and black truffle. It is not powerful like the 1961 or 1970, understated by comparison, yet you have to admire its delineation and classicism, almost statesmanlike. The palate is cut from a similar cloth. Refined, unpretentious, charming and effortless, it expresses the conservatism of the 1966 vintage, but after almost 60 years there is still plenty of vigour in the tank. It gains complexity and fans out gently towards the finish. The 1966 Trotanoy epitomises everything great about mature Pomerol. Wonderful.
