TROPLONG MONDOT 2004 GRAND CRU CLASSÉ

Zoete kers, witte chocolade, zwarte bes en gemalen steenachtige kenmerken zijn aanwezig in deze full-bodied St.-Emilion. Uitstekende rijkdom, pittige tannine en hints van kreupelhout en kruiden in de afdronk resulteren in een uitstekende in plaats van briljante Troplong-Mondot die een achterbank moet nemen naar hun buitenaardse 2005 .indrukwekkende wijn zoals beschreven is door :

PARKER (90)

Sweet cherry, white chocolate, black currant, and crushed rock-like characteristics are present in this medium-bodied St.-Emilion. Excellent richness, spicy tannin, and hints of underbrush and herbs in the finish result in an excellent rather than brilliant Troplong-Mondot that must take a back seat to their other-worldly 2005 and impressively endowed 2006. Give it 2-4 years, and it could have outstanding potential.

WINESPECTATOR / JAMES SUCKLING (90)

Aromas of blackberry, with hints of tobacco. Full-bodied, with fine tannins, good length and a delicate, fruity aftertaste. Much more refined than I remember from barrel. Caressing.

Rene Gabriel rates this wine 18/20 points.
