Cork in perfect condition, mid-neck fill. Brick colour. The aromatics were overpowered by brett at first, mostly dissipating after about 3 hours. This wine was firmly on the tertiary side with principal notes of tobacco, burnt wood, cedar, graphite, and hints of herb and red currants. A medium-bodied palate showing remnants of red fruits, spice, and earthy notes was saved by some refreshing acidity. An enjoyable bottle but the wine was on its downslope.

Dark colour. Small, young, anonymous aroma profile. A fantastic wine! Young, intense, the tannins owns my palate. Dense fruit with ink, lots of ink, cedar etc and a very very typical Bordeaux.
My guess: 2010 21 years wrong... Tonight's easiest wine (for me) to set as flight winner. Wow this is a great wine! Much better than the btl I plopped last year.

Bottle in great shape. At first so much fruit on the nose - cherry, cassis - and over the first hour more leather merging with the fruit. Medium++ richness and depth, earthy cherry palate and tart long finish. Really good energy. Steadily evolving now showing pepper, no cherry, mouth puckering. Really excellent.

nose - berry compote, earthy mouth- bitter red and dark fruits intermixed, which expand to coat the midpalate. coffee finish. In a very nice place at the moment.

(Château Troplong Mondot) Slightly bricking dark red violet color with clear meniscus; slightly maderized, tart berry, black fruit and graphite nose and palate; medium-plus finish (a disappointing showing)
