Product Description
RP100 "This estate was justifiably elevated to a Premier Grand Cru Classe in the new St.-Emilion classification thanks to the exceptional efforts of proprietress Christine Valette over the last two decades. The 2005 is one of the monumental wines of the vintage, and may eclipse their prodigious 1990. Inky/blue/purple-colored with an exceptional bouquet of Asian spices, blueberries, blackberries, truffles, cold steel, graphite, and charcoal, it hits the palate with exceptional purity, laser-like precision, a compellingly concentrated, multilayered mouthfeel, a broad, savory texture, terrific acidity, and substantial, but sweet tannins. It lives up to everything it revealed in barrel, and appears set to live for a half century or more." RP Jun 2015
LP98+ "The 2005 Troplong Mondot is deep garnet, with a touch of brick, in color. It storms out of the glass with powerful notes of plum pudding, black cherry preserves, and blueberry pie, giving way to hints of mint tea, unsmoked cigars, and star anise, with a touch of fallen leaves. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is dense and muscular, with loads of savory layers and a very firm, grainy texture, finishing with a refreshing mineral burst. It could use a few more years in bottle." LPB for TWI Feb 2024
