CHÂTEAU TRONQUOY LALANDE

2009 Saint Estèphe

Grapes Petit Verdot, Cab Sauv, Merlot
Colour Red
Origin France, Bordeaux
Sub-district Haut Médoc
Village Saint Estèphe
ABV 14%

42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 51% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot. 40% new wood. Tasted at Montrose, whose team are responsible for this property as well, after its excellent second wine, Tronquoy de Sainte Anne, which (oddly in the vintage) had a higher proporton of Cabernet. Riper, finer tannins in the first wine, with a more sophisticated fruit. Gorgeous, rich, densely-packed and yet freshly-flowing serious Saint Estephe. Possible not quite the joie-de-vivre of the very best, but at what I assume to be it's price level, this could be a terrific bargain. Rating: 91 L&S (Apr 2010)

There is a floral charm to the nose seemingly quite light but this is deceptive as the palate has richness of flavour. Red fruits intermingle with the black their freshness balancing the richer cassis and blackberry and giving a racy feel to the back palate. 2020-40 Rating: 89-93 Derek Smedley MW, www.dereksmedleymw.co.uk (Dec 2013)

From the expanding, under-construction Ch Montrose stable. 64% of production. 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 51% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot. 46 hl/ha. Minerals and opulence and lots of charm. Sinewy and exciting and depth of flavour but definitely St-Estèphe. Real vivacity. Very luscious in the middle. Very long and satisfying. GV?

Tasted at Chateau Montrose, this is a blend of 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 51% Merlot and 7% Petit Verdot, cropped at 46hl/ha. The nose is quite feisty at first, but it calms down nicely with well defined aromas of blackberry, raspberry coulis, a touch of shellfish and a hint of mint. The palate is full-bodied, svelte tannins, quite plush and concentrated, great depth with blackberry, spice, small black cherries and a touch of graphite. There is just a little hardness towards the finish. Good length. A burly Saint Estephe. Rating: 90-92 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (May 2010)
