2010 vintage. Good representation of Haut-Medoc region. Nice balance between fruitiness and earthiness and subtle tannins but lacking complexity and depth. $18 gd — 9 years ago

Cedar cedar cedar. Very woody. Elegance clashes with black fruit. This is a solid haut medoc. No surprise it's cru borgeois. — 9 years ago
Started off with an oaky nose with a rather minty and rough palate. After breathing for about an hour, a different taste profile came together with pleasant black fruit notes. Smooth medium bodied texture of a medoc. — 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. — 10 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. — 10 years ago
a classic Haut-Medoc. Excellent! — 11 years ago
