Rich, powerful, deep, and long, the wine is packed with dark chocolate, black cherries, plums, espresso, licorice, and herbs. There is a vibrancy paired with elegance, concentration, and purity that stand out. There is length, depth, intensity, and complexity that is showcased on the seamless finish. As a matter of style, this reminds of 1998 in its youth. The wine will require some aging before it begins to truly reveal its full potential. The wine is produced from 99.5% Merlot, with .05 Cabernet Franc.

It offers huge fruit and equally imposing tannins, all of which make for a pretty dramatic wine, even by Trotanoy standards. Cloves, licorice, lavender, graphite and dried herbs weave through a core of intense, dark-toned fruit. Firm, muscular tannins frame the incisive finish. Yields were a paltry 14 hectoliters per hectare.
