90 points Neal Martin, RobertParker.com, January 2010
Tasted at the UGC 2008 tasting in London. This Chateau Trottevieille has turned out nicely. The bouquet takes time to bloom, but bloom it does with fragrant blueberry and cassis fruit intermingled with sweet vanilla and a touch of violet. Fine definition. The palate is medium-bodied, caressing on the entry with fine tannins, just a hint of lemon rind lending edginess towards the quite sumptuous finish, although it does not quite have the persistency to merit a higher score at the moment. Still, very commendable for the vintage. Drink 2013-2020. Tasted November 2010.
