40% Semillon and 14% Sauvignon Gris

showing power but no coarseness

this will require plenty of cellar time before it’s completely ready

and their daughters Gaia and Rossana increasingly involved

Shows serious concentration and extract and finishes sappy and very long

Trotte Vieille other_regions 40% Semillon and 14% SauvignonThe 2016 Trotte Vieille is blessed with a finely tuned bouquet of brambly red berry fruit, orange pith and light rose petal scents that unfurl with aeration. The medium bodied palate delivers supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Fresh and pliant, with a gorgeous, silky finish that feels very persistent. This is an utterly charming and noble Saint milion. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. Neal Martin
