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.
Floral, with aromas of blackberry, plum and toasted oak. Full-bodied and chewy, with slightly extracted tannins that should come around in the bottle. A chunky wine.
Deep crimson, very very rich and charming on the nose with lovely balance. Lots of pleasure here. Could be drunk over a long period I think. Still quite dry finish. Good balance though.Date tasted 16th Oct 06.Drink 2009-2020
While it has closed down since last year, the impressively endowed 2004 Troplong Mondot displays a saturated blue/purple color along with hints of smoke, chocolate, espresso roast, plums, and black cherries. This extracted, powerful, tannic effort will need 5-6 years of bottle age, and should last until 2025.
Another terrific effort from charming proprietress Christine Valette, the dense blue/purple-hued 2004 Troplong Mondot displays a striking nose of acacia flowers intermixed with crushed rocks, black currants, cherries, blueberries, and raspberries. This layered, structured, backward, but enormously well-endowed 2004 is a marvelous demonstration of how to produce an elegant as well as substantially flavored wine. It will need 2-3 years of cellaring, and should keep until 2020.
Very deep crimson. Low key nose more fruit and veg than mineral or meat. Round and silky textured. Well made. Very sophisticated with a light touch. Gentle and well balanced. All in place and unusually persistent. Drink 2012-20
