A fabulous effort and a sleeper of the vintage, which may turn out to be the finest Troplong Mondot since the 1990, the black/purple-colored 1998 exhibits floral, blueberry, blackberry, licorice, vanilla, and truffle-like aromas (or is it charcoal/graphite?). Dense, full-bodied, and pure, yet extremely fresh and elegant, this beautifully focused wine will be at its finest between 2005 and 2025. Last tasted, 3/02.
The '98 Troplong has a deep colour with little signs of ageing. The nose is rich and opulent with glossy ripe dark cherries, crème de cassis and a hint of mushroom - still a little New World like in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with touches of date and prune on the entry. There is still an intensity to this Troplong, a Saint Emilion you are impressed with more than pleasured by. Tasted December 2012.
Completely black colour. Fabulously ripe and jam-packed. Really succulent and gorgeous. A very impressive, powerful Troplong in the style of the outstanding wines made here in 1989 and 1990. FV 17.
A fabulous effort, this sleeper of the vintage may turn out to be the finest trop since the 1990. The black/purple-coloured 98 exhibits floral, blueberry, blackberry, licorice, vanillin and truffle like aromas (or is it charoal/graphite?). Dense, full bodied, and pure, yet extremely fresh and elegant, this beautifully focused wine needs 3 - 5 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2005 - 25
