November 17, 2023 - Troplong Mondot: 1959-2012 (Stockholm, Sweden): Semi-blind (knew which 17 vintages that were being served).
Mature robe.
Enticing nose: spicy, charcuterie, dry reeds in the fall, oak towards gunpowder and (Swedish) hard bread.
A bit towards unusual, but still lovely. Richesse, grande, full-bodied with good acidic profile and great tannins.
My guess: 1970.
Pleasures from a totally forgotten vintage! Wow!
If you can make great wines when everything works against you, you have some great grapes and skillz.
