Note di degustazione
A very reticent nose but the palate is charming and has lots of juicy blue and black fruit. The tannins are powdery fine and there is decent length. Good.

The 2011 Tronquoy-Lalande has a more vivacious and outgoing bouquet, high-toned blueberry and blackberry, wild mint and black pepper all emerging with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, fine delineation, good grip with quite a saline, liquorice-tinged finish. Not complex, but there is presence here. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.
Tasted blind. Deep crimson. Very minerally note on the nose. And then sweet fruit – a miracle! Not that intense but certainly very respectable claret. (JR)
Black core. Lifted and slightly jammy fruit on the nose. Likewise on the palate, the fruit is slightly stewed and clashes with the high acidity. Tough with firm, chewy tannins. (JH)
Informazioni sul produttore
This 30-hectare estate in Saint-Estèphe is only classified as a Cru Bourgeois yet its terroir has long been prized. Now part of the same stable as the illustrious Ch. Montrose, there has been significant investment here, with rising quality and wines that now offer excellent value.
