The 2008 Tronquoy Lalande has a clean and fresh bouquet with blackberry, cedar, black truffle and smoke aromas, quite lively in the glass and demonstrating satisfying focus. The palate is medium-bodied with clean and precise tannin, very well judged acidity, superb tension and a very crisp blackberry, cedar and graphite finish that is much more sophisticated than anticipated. This surpasses previous bottles that I have tasted. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 10-Year On tasting.

Tasted blind. Dark crimson. Strong cassis essence. Polished and embryonic but well-constructed. Desperately needs food at this point in its evolution! Lots of glamour. (JR)

Light, simple fruit. Very fine tannins, moderate length, savoury finish. Correct and balanced. (RH)
