Score 93/100 · Drink 2029-2050, Neal Martin, Apr 2026

The 2016 Tronquoy-Lalande has a glorious bouquet with intense blackberry and wild strawberry scents, hints of cedar and graphite coming through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy, ripe tannins, white pepper and clove. Quite feisty and energetic towards the finish, this is a Saint-Estèphe with gumption. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.

Black currants and dried flowers on the nose. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, showing vibrant balance and precision, with clear, delineated dark fruit, freshness and energy. Approachable now, yet with the structure to continue developing. Drink or hold. 10 Years On retrospective.

Score 94/100 · Drink 2022-2046, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Oct 2022

The 2016 Tronquoy-Lalande is a brilliant wine. Wafting from the glass with scents of cassis, dark berries, cigar wrapper and loamy soil, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and seamless, with a deep and multidimensional core, lively acids and beautifully ripe tannins. Suave and elegant, this young, impeccably balanced classic will delight Médoc purists, but it is far from austere today and will offer a remarkably broad drinking window.
