2005 will be remembered as a virtually perfect growing season, producing what is considered one of the finest vintages of recent times. Following the flowering in June, the summer months saw almost exclusively warm, dry days and cool nights, resulting in an exceptional balance of richness and refreshing acidity. The wines are powerful, generous, tannic, and structured, without being harsh. Christian Moueix describes it as â€œa vintage blessed by the gods.â€�

The 2005 Trotanoy is still a very young wine. Even so, it has aged exquisitely, with all of the elements very nicely balanced. There is plenty of the tannic heft that is typical of this site, but the tannins are very well integrated into the wine's fabric. Cedar, dried flowers, iron red berry fruit, mocha and dark reddish-leaning fruit all open with time in the glass. The stress of the warm, dry vintage is felt in the wine's searing tannins. I would cellar the 2005 for at least a few years, and then give it a good decanting to help those tannins soften a bit. Tasted two times.
