2023 vintage. Cabernet Sauvignon (51%), Merlot(38 %), and a rather high percentage of Petit Verdot (11%). From the same owners as Montrose that is flirting with First Growth quality these days. Therefore, the high quality of Tronquoy (previously known as Tronquoy Lalande) should come as no surprise. Cassis, flowers and graphite. Compared to the same vintage of Château de Pez, it is more powerful, and a little less refined, but I would argue that those two are in the same league, and in the end it all comes down to your personal preferences and your mood of the day. Dark red, but by no means black (thankfully the days of overextraction are over). Cassis, violets and a hint of graphite. Medium-bodied, with concentrated fruit (more black than red), fresh acidity and a tight peppery finish (Petit Verdot I presume). Abv. 14%. — 4 days ago

2023 vintage. More Cabernet Sauvignon (61 %) compared to Tronquoy 2023 tasted alongside, with 38% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc. More flowers ( it seems to me that somehow 2023 is the floral vintage), cassis, blackberries and a mineral touch (less pronounced compared to the Tronquoy). Elegant, ripe and juicy. — 4 days ago

2020 vintage. It's a pleasure to see that the Quié family ( also Rauzan-Gassies and Tronquoy-Lalande) is finally getting serious about quality. Easily the best wine I have ever tasted from this former perennial underachiever. A blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot. Cassis, blueberries and toasted oak. Medium-bodied, with juicy black fruit and ripe tannin. It lacks a bit of concentration in the midpalate, but the finish is unexpectedly long. Abv. 14%. — 4 years ago

2005 vintage. Deep ruby. Seems quite Merlot dominant. Silky and smooth, tannins on the ripe side. Red and black fruits, some tobacco leaf and leather. Quite rich on the mid palate and medium length on finish. Good value 2005 St Estephe. — 12 years ago
