  Troplong Mondot: 1959-2012 (Stockholm, Sweden): Semi-blind (knew which 17 vintages that were being served).
  
  Dark colour.
  Newly painted basement, lilacs, tealeaves, cigar box and ashes. All in the most attractive sense of the context. Fresh and elegant on the nose.
  In the mouth, the purity is striking. Beautiful and then some. This is the type of wine that makes me understand my vocabulary is poor. A fantastic level of intensity, perfect balance and tannins like rocket fuel.
  
  My guess: 2012 and my wine of the flight.
  30 years wrong... Wow this is isht-good!!!

  My final bottle 3/3. Pronounced nose intensity with notes of cooked red fruits, spices, toast. The wine had past its peak and declining. It probably taste better probably 5 years ago. Its still holding well but struggling. Suggest to drink up and will not improve. Did not decant.

  Pronounced nose intensity with notes of cooked red fruits, vanilla, spices. Medium acidity and medium- tannin. Drank it over 2-3 hours and holding well. Felt its past its peak but its still enjoyable but will not improve anymore. Drink up.

  From enomatic. Light garnet Very lively. There's still a good chunk of tannins. Meaty, spicy, leather, mushroom, tomato savouriness. Long finish
