Château Troplong Mondot
St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend
The group really liked this. I wasn’t as keen. Too ripe.

Sep 2nd, 2018Peaking beautifully and completely polymerized. Oak and tannins totally resolved, yielding hedonistic fruit. Just a whisper of heat stress and a touch of syrup on the finish.

May 2nd, 2014Wow, never would guess that has 30 years on it. Fruit and acidity but balanced with hints of gentle tannins. Constantly evolving in the glass, dried fruit, spices, eventually hints of earthy. Superb.
