Another big, dark St.-Estèphe, but in spite of the rich body and some perceptible alcohol, there is also a cool, minty note. Slightly sweet finish in spite of all the tannins. Spice comes through at the end. Drink in 2020.

Just as expressive from bottle as it was from barrel, the 2014 Tronquoy-Lalande is superb. Black cherry, plum, gravel, smoke, savory herbs, licorice and expressive floral notes abound in a rich, deeply textured Saint-Estèphe that will drink well with minimal cellaring. The plush, textured finish only adds to the wine's considerable appeal. Drink this pliant, expressive Saint-Estèphe over the next 15-20 years or more. This is a stellar showing. The blend is 56 % Merlot, 37 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 6 % Petit Verdot and 1 % Cabernet Franc. Tasted three times.

A pure, racy version, with an iron-edged frame that keeps the red currant and damson plum fruit very focused. Mouthwatering tobacco and wet pebble accents are inlaid on the pleasantly austere finish. Well done. Best from 2018 through 2024.

The Château Tronquoy-Lalande 2014 is a blend of 56% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc. It has a pleasant nose with a light marine/saline influence upon the black fruit that needs to forage for a little more delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with chalky tannin on the entry, quite pointed acidity that segues into a classic, foursquare finish. This is good vigor here, although I would appreciate more finesse. It did not help that this was tasted next to the superlative Montrose 2014.

Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Das Bouquet beginnt floral, zeigt feine Rosentöne und etwas dunkle zweiten Ansatz auch leicht blättrige Nuancen. Fülliger Gaumen mit einem Touch von Lakritze und Heidelbeeren, eine ganz fein stielige Würze im Hintergrund zeigend, im Finale wieder mit einer schönen Ration Lakritze endend. Solider Wert mit gutem Potential. 17/20 2022 – 2038

Features a flattering core of blackberry and black cherry fruit, lined with just enough charcoal and singed apple wood hints to stay honest. Reveals a pleasantly
rustic edge on the finish.
