Chateau Troplong Mondot 2020

Description

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (98)

The 2020 Troplong Mondot may prove to be even better than the brilliant 2019, and it is one of the Right Bank’s finest wines in this vintage. Unwinding in the glass with deep aromas of mulberries, blackberries and red cherries mingled with hints of rose petal, licorice and exotic spices, it’s medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a satiny attack that segues into a vibrant, polished mid-palate, concluding with a long, resonant finish. Having seen only 65% new oak and with malolactic fermentation completed in tank rather than in barrel, it’s remarkably pure and seamless. With the 2020 vintage, this estate’s stylistic redemption appears to be complete.

James Suckling (97)

A soft and round red with plum and milk chocolate. Hazelnuts. Full-bodied and layered. Juicy. Hints of sea salt. Power is there. Turns firm and vivid. So attractive now. Savory.

BOW (8.75)

Falstaff (97)

Deepest ruby, opaque core, purple reflections. Sweet, dark berry fruit, nuances of cassis and blackberries, a hint of fig, subtle herbal savouriness, mineral touch. Substantial, powerful, black cherries, ripe, supporting and at the same time silky tannins, dark nougat on the finish, has great aromatic depth, great length, certain ageing potential.

Wine Enthusiast (98)

This firmly structured wine with its high percentage of Merlot is powerful and dense. The bold black fruits and perfumed density are impressive.
