Details

Chateau Troplong Mondot 2009 is an exceptional wine that embodies the opulence and complexity of the St-Émilion region. Its deep, dark color hints at the intensity that awaits. The nose is an aromatic symphony, unveiling a rich tapestry of blackberry, blackcurrant, and ripe plum, interwoven with nuances of violet, cedar, and exotic spices. On the palate, it is lavish and full-bodied, with layers of luscious dark fruit flavors enveloped by velvety tannins. Notes of dark chocolate, espresso, and hints of licorice add depth and intrigue. The wine's remarkable structure and concentration are balanced by a lively acidity that brings vibrancy and freshness to the palate. The finish is enduring and memorable, leaving lingering impressions of dark fruit, toasted oak, and a touch of graphite. Chateau Troplong Mondot 2009 is a true masterpiece, showcasing the estate's commitment to crafting wines of utmost elegance and finesse.


Robert Parker - 96 Points

"Deep garnet colored, the 2009 Troplong Mondot bounds out of the glass with plum preserves, spice cake, mincemeat and potpourri scents plus suggestions of exotic spices, incense and a waft of balsamic. Full-bodied, super rich, concentrated and plushly textured, the hedonic fruit possesses loads of spicy layers and a very long and decadent finish. If you love wines you can stand a spoon up in, you're gonna go nuts over this extravagant beauty."


Antonio Galloni - 90 Points

"The 2009 Troplong-Mondot has a completely over the top, gregarious and raisin-like bouquet that frankly comes as no surprise given the philosophy of the estate at this time. The palate is sweet on the entry with candied black cherries, cassis and cough candy, unlike Bordeaux in some ways with a rather cloying and alcoholic finish. Now it seems like an anachronism. Tasted at BI Wines & Spirits' Ten Year On tasting."
