- During the Medoc Marathon, they drank a wine from a château upgraded from Bourgeois to Cru Bourgeois Supérieur in the 2003 classification review. It's like Adonis, the beautiful youth loved by Aphrodite in Greek mythology. The delicate and ephemeral nature of anemone flowers, masculine yet gently smiling and reaching out, reminiscent of Château Tronquoy Lalande 2005.

Tasting notes
Château Tronquoy-Lalande is one of those gems from the Médoc region in Bordeaux, you know? It's mostly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with the 2003 classification revision, it got elevated to Cru Bourgeois Supérieur. What this means is you're dealing with a wine of reliable quality—something you'd want to pop open on a special occasion.
In Volume 24 of 'Drops of God', this wine makes an appearance during the Médoc Marathon. It's compared to Adonis, the symbol of beauty in Greek mythology. This wine has that mix of strength and tenderness, almost like a gentle smile with a powerful presence. It has the ephemeral beauty of an anemone flower, yet the masculine charm that draws you in.
Pouring it into a glass, you see a striking garnet hue. The nose is all about deep aromas of blackberries and cassis, along with hints of cedar and dried herbs. On the palate, the silky tannins spread gently, showcasing the rich taste of ripe fruit. The acidity is vibrant, creating a well-balanced experience. And the finish? It lingers on, keeping you engaged until the very end.
