Couleur sombre, intense et vive. Un Château Troplong Mondot 2019 au nez intense, fin, pur, au fruité mûr et épicé. Immédiatement délicat dès l'entrée en bouche, plus floral que jamais, minutieux dans son toucher et sans cesse parfumé, le vin s'étire en finale, savoureux et délicatement complexe dans son déroulé. Bonne longueur. Assemblage : 85 % merlot, 13 % cabernet sauvignon, 2 % cabernet franc. Degré d'alcool : 15° - pH : 3,55. 2026 – 2050.JMQ-www.quarin.com
The 2019 Troplong Mondot is a blend this year of 85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc, harvested from the 10th to the 25th of September. The pH is 3.55—pretty incredible when you consider the alcohol is nearly 15%! I hasten to add that from tasting, I would have guessed this was 14.3% to 14.5% alcohol. It is the kind of wine with so much energy it practically does pirouettes on your palate.
Opaque purple-black colored, the nose is fantastically floral, bursting from the glass with notes of candied violets, red roses and lavender over a core of plum preserves, wild blueberries and black raspberries with touches of garrigue, tilled soil, wild fungi and crushed rocks plus a waft of powdered cinnamon. The medium-bodied palate is like a tightly coiled spring, featuring beautifully knit layers of black and red fruits, earth and floral notes within a firm, fine-grained frame and bags of freshness, finishing long and mineral laced. This is a far cry from the old-school style of Troplong Mondot from a few years back, and it is incredibly impressive. This 2019 Troplong Mondot is aging in French oak barriques, some larger vats, and a small proportion is in amphorae. The oak portion is 60% new. Lisa Perrotti-Brown
