"Owned by the Castéja family, Trottevieille has one parcel of some of the oldest vines in St.-Emilion. Dense purple, the 2005 is better at age 10 then earlier. The wine has beautiful blueberry, plum and blackcurrant fruit, an attractive underlying minerality, medium to full body, sweet tannin, and a long, layered, complex finish. Drink it over the next 15-20 years."

"Possibly the finest Trotte Vielle I have ever tasted, proprietor Philippe Casteja continues to ratchet up this estate’s quality. The dense blue/purple-hued 2005 offers a flamboyant bouquet of black fruits, licorice, chocolate, incense, espresso, and pain grille. Full-bodied with beautiful richness, good acidity, sweet but substantial tannin, and a textured mouthfeel, it shows exceptionally well at present, but it will benefit from 5-6 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2028."

"Philippe Casteja has turned in a terrific effort as the 2005 is the finest Trotte Vieille I have ever tasted. It boasts a deep blue/black color as well as a beautiful perfume of creme de cassis, asphalt, truffles, and pain grille, stunning richness, fresh, lively acidity, sweet tannin, and a long, full-bodied finish. This outstanding St.-Emilion should be drinkable in 4-5 years, and keep for two decades or more."
