The Chateau Troplong Mondot 2011 is a classic Bordeaux wine that exudes elegance and refinement. On the nose, aromas of dark cherries, plums, and blackcurrants mingle with hints of vanilla, cedar, and tobacco. The deep ruby colour hints at the wine's rich and full-bodied palate, which is dominated by ripe fruit flavours and a subtle spiciness. The well-integrated tannins provide a smooth and velvety texture, making each sip a luxurious experience. This vintage from the esteemed Chateau Troplong Mondot in France showcases the perfect balance between fruit, oak, and acidity, resulting in a wine that is both powerful and delicate. Enjoy it now, or allow it to age for a few more years to fully appreciate its complexity. Overall, a stunning expression of Bordeaux's terroir, this wine is a true testament to the art of winemaking.

There is a sense of alcohol with this wine. It is so rich, so dense, so ripe. The texture is round, full in the mouth with a touch of pepper. As a contrast, it also shows a surprising amount of freshness, especially in the aftertaste. Drink this ultra-rich wine from 2018.

92-94. Barrel sample. Mint and new wood aromas lead to a palate that has dark and concentrated tannins. The wine is bright and fresh, with juicy black-currant and plum flavors.

This is a muscular wine for the vintage with loads of fruit and tannins, not to mention the new wood. Full body, chewy and intense. Lots of minerals, sweet tobacco and berries. Needs a least three to four years to soften. A big, muscular 2011. 85% merlot, 10% cabernet sauvignon and 5% cabernet franc.

I love the aromas of blackberries with hints of minerals and flowers. Hints of subtle sandalwood. Full body, with a beautiful balance of juicy fruit and bright acidity. Long and spicy with intense character. 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc.
Points: 93-94

This pulls no punches, with a torrent of raspberry preserves, plum sauce and blackberry cobbler rushing forth, studded with warm fruit cake and melted licorice notes. Offers a long, well-toasted finish, where everything hangs together harmoniously. An impressive example of the powerful style.
