2012 Tronquoy de Sainte-Anne, Château Tronquoy-Lalande, St-Estèphe
The second wine of Tronquoy-Lalande: a hidden gem of St-Estèphe. On the nose notes of fresh victoria plum and blackcurrant, while the palate has a nice core of understated fruit, grippy but not drying tannins, pencil lead, and a hint of iodine. It’s nicely structured, and is, quite simply, delicious.
