While clearly firmly structured

but I still find it a bit light

Made of 55% Cariñena and 45% Garnacha from old vines on slopes on slate llicorella soils

Give this a decade in the cellar before popping a cork

As it always is

Trotte Vieille other_regions While clearly firmly structuredThe 2016 Trotte Vieille is blessed with a finely tuned bouquet of brambly red berry fruit, orange pith and light rose petal scents that unfurl with aeration. The medium bodied palate delivers supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Fresh and pliant, with a gorgeous, silky finish that feels very persistent. This is an utterly charming and noble Saint milion. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. Neal Martin
