Château Trottevieille 2023 en Primeur

Deep dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, delicate rim brightening. Fresh and precise aroma, floral, cassis, blackberry, pepper, cranberry. On the palate, it shows very dense and full-bodied, simultaneously powerful and with fine tannins, creamy base, very good finish. Juicy, has pronounced minerality, high degree of dynamism and certain ageing potential.

Wow, this is really something. It is full and powerful with truly impressive depth of fruit. Yet, it remains agile and structural, with flexed muscles, balanced by a sense of floating. Well defined and poised. 53% cabernet franc, 44% merlot, and 3% cabernet. Will it be better than 2022?
