As I wrote earlier this year, the 2019 Tronquoy-Lalande has turned out beautifully, and it continues to show very well, offering up inviting aromas of wild berries, spices, rose petals and cassis. Medium to full-bodied, layered and sensual, with lively acids, ripe tannins and a long, vibrant finish, it's reminiscent of a somewhat more sun-kissed and extroverted sibling of the terrific 2016 at this address. William Kelley, Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2019 Tronquoy-Lalande has a concentrated nose with quite intense black fruit, touches of boysenberry, a little richer than some of its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with a dense, powerful, almost burly entry, very saline in the mouth, yet I am seeking more precision and finesse on the finish. That may well develop with time. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting. Neal Martin, Vinous

The 2019 Tronquoy-Lalande is a huge, powerful wine. A blast of inky dark fruit, charcoal, chocolate, spice and menthol gives the 2019 its decidedly exuberant personality. The 2019 is not exactly subtle, but it certainly offers plenty of punch. The tannins are a bit rustic, otherwise the 2019 is commendable. Antonio Galloni, Vinous
