Plenty of oomph and layered aromas in this classic expression of Haut-Medoc who took a double decanting and a couple of hours to feel fully opened. Loved it all the same, but will be better in 5 years. — 6 years ago

Leather, earth, woods, raspberry, Blue berries, spices. Wonderful old medoc nose, progressively reaching its dawn though. Palate with a strong acid backbone, fully integrated and a bit dusty tannins, raspberry and cherry, mushrooms and chocolate. The finish is quite quick with a bitter chocolate taste. Still very alive — 8 years ago

2010 vintage. Good representation of Haut-Medoc region. Nice balance between fruitiness and earthiness and subtle tannins but lacking complexity and depth. $18 gd — 11 years ago

2005. Astonishing development thru 2 hours drinking. Heavy toasted oak n blueberry jam n hint of violet led me think of Chilean or Ribeira drl douro. Later tannin comes I assured that it is an old world. Then shut down. Cabernet nose comes at the end. The first haut medoc changes radically that I enjoyed so much. Must be the vintage. Buy. — 11 years ago

Very concentrated, complex nose with black currant, tar, cedar, vanilla, caramel, oak and some spices. This is inviting and screams Medoc GCC in your face. The palate is perfectly balanced with a nice velvety touch on the sides, some dusty, very nice tannins, a massive acid backbone, a radiant fruit all along and a long finish with currant, a bit of salt and some nice bitterness flowering up in the end. The palate is not overwhelming and every part is a bit under control. Maybe a tad too much to be a great wine but considering the vintage (which I often find myself liking very much lately) this is a great effort. Happy birthday dad! — 6 years ago

For a Haut Medoc grand cru I was delighted to drink this 35 year old gem. Smokey cedar nose and rich tobacco cassis flavors with delicate tannins this wine has enormous fruit and lasting power. — 9 years ago

Tonight I am enjoying this 2009 Chateau Larose-Trintaudon Haut-Medoc. 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot. On the nose I am getting blackberry, black cherry, black currant, licorice, and nice earthy components. On the palate is nice black cherries, black currant, violets, clove, graphite, and hints of tobacco. Medium+ acidity that sings on the tip of my tongue, smooth medium+ tannin with a long enjoyable finish. I purchased this wine for $21.99 a great QPR for this Left Bank Bordeaux. — 11 years ago

Perfect rainy night claret. Nice aged aromas. Tar, cassis, tobacco, soil, floral. Really aromatic. Saddle leather. Killer classic medoc. Palate is juicy and has a little bit of grit but I love it as that is the character of 2002. Firm spine but generous as well. Terrific balance and ripe yet firm tannins. — 8 years ago

Basic Haut-Medoc with all the usual suspects. Strong notes of camphor and young tannins a bit off-putting. A bit young - best to wait.
