Reviews
James Suckling 92
This is lovely with a creamy, citrus and blueberry character. Full and silky with ultra-fine tannins and a fresh finish. Drink or hold.

The 2010 Tronquoy-Lalande seems to have a very reductive nose that does not quite "spread its arms" with aeration. It gradually improves with black cherries, boysenberry, freshly tilled soil and woodland aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, quite dense and harmonious, clearly more expressive than the aromatics with a well defined, slightly peppery finish. Fine.

Wine Advocate 92
A major sleeper of the vintage from the proprietors of Montrose, this wine is now overseen by the man who replaced Jean-Bernard Delmas, Herve Berland, who worked for many years at Mouton-Rothschild. With stunning richness, this blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot exhibits lots of blueberry, boysenberry and mulberry notes, a full-bodied, voluptuously textured mouthfeel and terrific purity and length. The wine is very drinkable now and should continue to drink exceptionally well for at least another 12-15+ years.

Wine Enthusiast 93
A rich, chocolaty wine, with the structure right up front. Under the same ownership as Chateau Montrose, this is a wine that reveals all its attractions early with sweet blackberry fruit and powerful tannins. There is some freshness as well, giving fruitiness and acidity at the end

Features a firm charcoal frame, smoldering bay and tobacco notes and chewy, mulled currant, steeped fig and blackberry fruit flavors. A singed iron edge drives the taut finish. An old-school, minerally style. Best from 2014 through 2024.
