2016 Chateau Trotanoy (375 ml)

來自波爾多名莊的經典之作，2016 年卓龍散發出濃郁的黑色與藍色果實香，伴隨松露、紫羅蘭與一抹薄荷或甘草的複雜氣息。入口飽滿，果味豐腴卻不失優雅，黑梅與黑莓的香甜被奶油巧克力、雪松和微微香料托起，單寧細緻且有雕刻感，礦物感與收結極為持久。酒莊坐擁粘土與礫石交錯的土壤，下層有富含鐵的「crasse de fer」，正是賦予這酒厚實與深度的關鍵。採收手工進行，雙重篩選，於小型混凝土槽發酵，再進入主要新桶陳年。建議醒酒約一至兩小時，配紅肉或野味最合適。

A landmark Pomerol from a storied estate, the 2016 Chateau Trotanoy shows a deep, brooding nose of black and blue fruits layered with truffle, violet and a hint of menthol. On the palate it is dense and concentrated yet remarkably polished: waves of ripe plum and blackberry compote are wrapped in creamy dark chocolate, cedar and subtle licorice, carried by a frame of very fine, chiselled tannins and a minerally, very long finish. Producer notes stress the unique clay-gravel soils — with an iron-rich "crasse de fer" subsoil — that give power and complexity. Harvest is entirely manual with double sorting; fermentation takes place in small concrete vats and ageing is carried out in mainly new oak. Expect magnificent cellaring potential; decant before serving to let perfumed layers open.
