One of the top values in the Médoc is flirting with greatness in 2022. This resplendent Tronquoy highlights the caliber of the Montrose team and the potential of both the site and the vintage. What’s immediately striking are the aromatics—filling the room the moment the bottle is opened—with blue and red fruits and a terrific floral note. On the palate, it’s layered with blackberry, red plum, and cherry, beautifully concentrated and already well integrated in terms of texture, acidity, and tannins. A long, gravelly finish grounds it with a strong sense of place. There’s so much going on here. Like many 2022s, it offers plenty of immediate appeal, but all the components are in place for it to age effortlessly for years.
