Château Trocard
Bordeaux Supérieur Red Bordeaux Blend
For the price, this is a great Bordeaux. Once it's open for a couple of hours it's excellent.

1 person found it helpfulMar 26th, 2015Picture is not my bottle. Drank a glass at Bin 35 in Brookside. Dark fruit, slight sweetness, plum, blueberry. Medium-length finish. Slightly strong alcohol taste, but otherwise good. Pairs well with fried chicken. I had the 2009 a couple of years ago and it was a little past its prime. 2014 at 3 years is better.

Aug 4th, 2017Distinct wood notes in the first hour or so, gives way to a more balanced (but not exciting) bouquet. Good middle of the road Bordeaux. 2012 half bottle, prize winner (dont know why), about $9 at specs in 2017.

Jul 9th, 2017Starts a little uneven/alcoholy. Touch of sweetness. Dark berry starts to come out, then finish is smooth. Definitely drinkable, but either average wine or past prime.

Oct 28th, 2016Very dry and earthy... Beautiful ruby color and was a bit better after it had aerated for a while.

May 10th, 2016Deep ruby red color with nice aromas of black fruits and cigarette on the nose. Full-bodied with good taste of plum, blackcurrant, and hint of vanilla. Firm texture and meaty but rough tannins together with soft & reasonable length. Good value.
