Alessandro Dalle Carbonare

9.1

Sentore mentolato e non puro. Very tannic and not very balanced at this stage. It may improve. — 2 months ago

9.4

The 2014 Trotanoy has a more complex bouquet than the 2014 Gazin, with more Pomerol DNA in the mix, iron-tinged red berry fruit, black truffle and cedar. Fine delineation and quintessentially Pomerol. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins and harmonious, soy-tinged black fruit with white pepper sprinkled over the finish. This has personality and class but needs time (comme d'habitude). One of the standouts in what is an inconsistent Pomerol vintage. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.

Pyrazene, just ripe black cassis, mint and ash, deep lavender leaf, soft & smooth & round. Creamy vanilla on the finish. Very structured - grippy tannins on the finish too — 8 months ago

8.9

Don’t think this is the right wine as the wine I tried was 100% Merlot. Immediately hit with a strong scent of black currant before my nose got close to the glass. Taste of dark cherries followed by blackberries followed by soft tannins. Leaves a bit of a bitter aftertaste in n the mouth after a few minutes. A very nice wine for the price.

March 2024. Finished this 2010 bottle, first tasted vertical w/2016. This is so good. Black fruit, leather. Cabernet and merlot. Perfect blend. — 4 months ago

9.1

Enough age to bring the fruit intensity down a notch, & man that’s some good fruit- emphasis on the cassis & blackberries. Usually not a mega fan of Bordeaux, but this fit the bill for a shared bottle with friends, drink outside on the banks of the Hudson. — 8 months ago

This humble bottle is transcendent. My wine of the year…maybe the decade. It just doesn’t get better than this. — 8 months ago
