Tasting notes
Open and perfumed, the 2017 Tronquoy-Lalande bursts with aromas of sweet blackberries, spices and cherries. Medium to full-bodied, supple and charming, its melting tannins cloaked in an ample core of fruit, this bright, expressive wine is already drinking well.

Tasted blind. Deep ruby colour. Spicy, some intrigue and vibrancy on both nose and palate. Some spiced plum, with grippy, sappy cedar flavour. Bright, with lively acids lifting the finish. Good energy. (TP)
The 2017 Tronquoy-Lalande is soft, easygoing and quite supple - all qualities that make it an excellent choice for drinking over the next handful of years. This Merlot-based Saint-Estèphe is all about elegance, refinement and class. The 2017 remains quite laid back in style, but it is a very pretty wine with impeccable balance and tons of sheer appeal.
