2016 Chateau Tronquoy Lalande 6 Pack

93 POINTS

Roger Voss - Wine Enthusiast

A dense and rich red with blueberry, blackberry and licorice character. Full to medium body, tight yet velvety tannins and a long and linear finish. Shows focus.

Panos Kakaviatos - Decanter

The wine shows much palate depth and richness, with Merlot coming to the fore. Impressive body but with freshness too, if not among the top wines in terms of racy elegance. I also tasted a 2005, which was impressive but not quite as precise as the 2016 – proof of just how much the estate has improved over the last 10 years.

The aromas of violets and flowers are impressive in this with dark fruit underneath. Medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a fresh and bright finish. Shows beautiful depth and resilience. Drink from 2023.

Roger Voss - Wine Enthusiast

Dark tannins and rich, succulent fruit mark this wine made by the same team as Château Montrose. Black fruits and solid, concentrated tannins contrast with the acidity that still shows through strongly. The wine needs time and will be ready to drink from 2023.

91–93. Barrel Sample. A dense wine, this is packed with ripe fruit and a definite dry core of tannins. The wine has concentrated black-fruit flavors and a solid texture that is firm and demanding plenty of time. Acidity and crispness come into play on the finish.
