WTN: Trousseau or Consequences

[David M. Bueker]

2015 Arnot-Roberts Trousseau North Coast - USA, California, North Coast (6/4/2020)
Small but delicious pour at a tasting (from magnum) - this showed great complexity on the nose, and shocking depth on the palate, especially since the color is just a dark and slightly orange version of rose! Orange peel, red berry, cinnamon spice, old wood, dried herbs - it's all in there. The palate is lively, fresh and echoes the berries and spice, with a finishing zip of the orange zest. Lovely stuff for a warm summer night.

Sounds delightful. We had an Eyrie Trousseau a few weeks back--this is what we hoped for, but it wasn't there. Fairly sparse in flavor and overly acidic; it was a '15 and heading in the wrong direction.

Sounds like you're all trussed up.
