Château Troplong Mondot
St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
Domaine de Mondot belonged to Father de Seze, who had the present-day chateau built in 1745. Very much taken by the estate, Raymond Troplong purchased it in 1850 and constituted the vineyard as we know it today. Tasted ‘14 & ‘15. Dark Ruby with black fruit aromas and exotic spice. On the palate cherry and blackberry with oak, coffee and pepper spice. Tannins still big, needs time, ending with flinty mineral ending. Tasting Sample.

Aug 17th, 201817+/20 (93+/100) Темно-бордовое, непрозрачное. Яркий, насыщенный аромат с шоколадной доминантой, дополненной тонами спелых чёрных ягод и кедра. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и интенсивными, вяжущими танинами. Насыщенное во вкусе. Высокая экстракция, мощное, напористое, абсолютно не готовое. #annualclarettasting

Full bodied. Dark fruits, espresso, rooibos, blood orange, cherry liqueur. Round and silky. Powerful. Balanced. I am a fan of Troplong Mondot I must say. Great signature style that feels recognisable.
