Still youthful. Nose of dark fruits and truffles — 9 years ago
Fantastic this time around. Maybe a bottle issue last time. Maybe a palate issue. Who cares. This is why we do this. Dark fruits, barnyard, gym socks, forest floor and mushroom flavors dominate. Concentrated, good backbone, with velvety tannins. Long life ahead. — 9 years ago
2018 vintage. Co-owned by Stephan von Neipperg (La Mondotte and Canon La Gaffelière in Saint-Emilion). A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Merlot. Very attractive nose with black cherries, blackberries and strawberry marmelade, mixed with smokey oak and Provence herbs. Medium to full-bodied, with concentrated black fruit, smooth tannin and great spicy length. Super sexy hedonistic Bordeaux. Amazing value too. Highly recommended. — 4 years ago
2000 Troplong Mondotte. a nice bordeaux though thin on fruit. i would have liked to see more fruit and more richness. this was thin and the tannins were more astringent than i would expect in a 16 year old wine. — 9 years ago

Best merlots around. Soft and fruity. Mild tannins. I get a little hint of herbal. This one was a surprise by a friend. Nice pick — 7 years ago

Nice density on the nose and rebus the palate. It enters vibrant and energetic, lots of minerality here. Closing with a licorice like aftertaste. — 7 months ago
