JEB DUNNUCK: "Lots of plums, blue and black fruits, earth, chocolate, and hints of earth all emerge from the 2022 Château Tronquoy-Lalande, a full-bodied, pure, powerful Saint-Estèphe with impressive tannins and a great finish. It shows more floral and red-fruited nuances with time in the glass, and this is clearly a beautiful wine in the making. It shows the ripeness of the vintage while staying pure, balanced, and seamless."

WEINWISSER: "59 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 35 % Merlot, 6 % Petit Verdot, 37 hl/ha, pH 3.8, 14.5 Vol.-%. Verspieltes Bouquet, verführerisches Fliederparfüm, blaue Beeren, Lakritze, Hanf und Holundergelee. Am komplexen geradlinigen Gaumen mit zupackendem Tanningerüst, feinkörnigem Extrakt, perfekt stützender Rasse, edler Bittermandelnote und muskulösem Körper. Im gebündelten, spannungsgeladenen Finale kleine schwarze Beeren und dunkle Mineralik. Dieses gelungene "Debüt", das auf dem gleichen Niveau wie der 2016er ist, sollte man sich auf gar keinen Fall entgehen lassen. 2027 – 2048."

FALSTAFF: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Frische Herzkirschen, zart nach Veilchen, feine tabakige Nuancen, dunkle Waldbeeren sind unterlegt. Kraftvoll, stoffig und komplex, gute Frische, schokoladig und anhaftend, sicheres Reifepotenzial, bereits gut antrinkbar. Ab sofort ohne den Namenszusatz Lalande."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Dark cocoa, flowers, tobacco leaf, and spicy currants show in the nose. On the palate, the wine is concentrated, lush, deep, and loaded with chocolate coated plums, spice, and cherries. There is richness to the layers of fruit on the mid-palate, and in the finish. The wine sports a new name as it is now known as only Tronquoy. The label has been updated as well with a new, modernized design. 14.5% ABV, 3.8 pH. Drink from 2026-2040."

JANCIS ROBINSON: "Lots of energy, the fruit pure and juicy. Aromatic with dark-fruit notes and well-integrated oak. Ripe but lifted. Crunchy tannins on the finish."
