Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Trotte Vieille opens with alluring scents of kirsch, baked plums and wild blueberries, plus hints of red roses, dark chocolate, tapenade and fertile loam. The medium to full-bodied palate has ripe, rounded tannins and lovely freshness supporting the juicy red and black fruits, finishing long with great purity.

老托特酒莊今年的品質大有提升。酒款更具辨識度，集中度也更好。成熟醇厚的李子、礦物質、灌木叢、香料、甘草與煙熏氣息呈現(xiàn)出多層次復雜的芳香。酒款口感優(yōu)雅、豐富且富有美感。我確信這是老托特酒莊有史以來最好的一款酒。這款酒由54%品麗珠、44%梅洛和2%赤霞珠混釀而成，酒精度達14%。酒莊的采收期由9月20日持續(xù)至10月5日。
