Description

2004 Château Troplong Mondot, St Emilion, BordeauxSince the mid 1980s, when Michel Rolland began overseeing the winemaking and owner Christine Valette increased her control, Troplong Mondot's wines have been 1er Grand Cru Class quality the 2004, a blend of 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, is no exception. Displaying a flamboyant nose of sweet, jammy fruit (plums, cherries and blackberries), this wine is initially more demure on the palate, but then the enticing ripe fruit

there is good freshness and verve to the beautifully delineated

and an excellent layer of freshness that picks things up on the finish and stops it being overly powerful

more balanced and more drinkable Vin de Constance

finishing fresh and satisfying

The vineyard is farmed by Benjamins right-hand man

The wine is very dark

expressing the personality of the terroir possibly more than any other proprietor

loganberry and cassis fruits

The ’77 Dow’s Port is one of the greats and memorably combines the depth and quality of the vintage with its own inimitable deftness and class

red currant and a hint of game

boar or any game dish

The wine's intense red color reveals aromas of ripe red fruits and spices
