"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."

-94-96 Points, Jeb Dunnuck

"A fresh and solid TL with currants and cherries. Hints of chocolate and spice. Medium to full body. Juicy tannins and a flavorful finish. Lovely richness and depth. A blend of 59% cabernet sauvignon, 33% merlot and 6% petit verdot."

-92-93 Points, James Suckling

"The 2022 Tronquoy is a gorgeous wine, one of the best in recent memory. The size and burliness typical of Saint-Estèphe are present, and yet what impresses most is how well integrated the tannins are at this stage. A blast of super-ripe dark fruit, chocolate, leather, licorice and dried herbs makes a strong opening statement. This is a very strong showing."

-91-93 Points, Vinous

"The 2022 Tronquoy (formerly Tronquoy-Lalande) is an especially rich and powerful wine, offering up aromas of dark berries and cherries framed by creamy new oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy palate structured around lively acids and powdery tannins that assert themselves on the vanillin-inflected finish."

-89-91 Points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
