Château Trotte Vieille – 2007 – Saint Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classé

Red wine with a quite developed colour here, it is ruby core with a tawny rim appearing quite mature. The nose it is also displaying maturing here, with notes of slightly dried fruit here, with leather, some notes of mocha, some roasted notes, a hint of wood and tobacco as well. A certain complexity for sure. Palate is rather on the full bodied side, but it has gotten a soft texture now, rounded tannin there and I think everything is in place there. Really soft and slightly coffee infused red fruit, with some notes of leather. Quite long finish with this spicy complexity going on, on the final. Still with a quite youthful acidity to it. A wine that has reached good level of maturity to enjoy today not really for further keeping.
