  • A bit to much smoke to get higher points. All in all a brilliant wine. The lenght and the nose, wow.

  • Troplong Mondot: 1959-2012 (Stockholm, Sweden): Semi-blind (knew which 17 vintages that were being served).
    Dark colour.
    Huge nose. Dark fruits, youthful fruit in a big way. Wunderbar
    A big bruiser of a young wine. Fantastic tannic profile that with the perfect acidity and fruit co-create a wine that will live and develop for decades. This is tight! And there are also plums and sloe to be enjoyed in there amidst the dark fruits.

    This is heavy metal in a bottle!

    My guess: I didn't get it right, even with only four choices left...
    My flight-winner, edging itself before the 2010.
    The first Bdx '07 to impress my socks off! Wow!

  • Deep ruby, some browning. Terrible cork, crumbling badly. Graphite, dark berries, smoked meats, eastern spices. Plums. Tannins a bit raspy, grainy. Decent but not wonderful. But that cork probably hindered this bottle.

  • Decanted three hours before service. In the glass, dark, deep purple, fully saturated - more like a barrel sample in appearance than a 15 year old wine. On the nose, muted graphite, leather, and currants. On the palate, plums, currants, graphite, and smoky oak, with a silky, almost lean midpalate and finish. This isn't a showstopper by any means, and I don't know that I would expect much more from further aging, but for a difficult vintage, this was a decent performance.

  • Difficult vintage with wet and damp summer made this Troplong-Mondot a dark, smoky and earthy beast. A blend of 90% Merlot, 5% CS and 5% CF. Aged for 24 months in 75% new oak barrels. Deep ruby, garnet hue. Intense complex aroma of cherries, smoke, blackberry liqueur, smoky plums, graphite, medicinal notes, cassis, cold cuts, leather. Full body, powerful and textured with a delicate elegance twist, expressive layered flavours of juicy and smoky black fruits, earthy cassis hints, rich fine tannins, long finish.
