CHATEAU TROPLONG MONDOT 2012, ST. EMILION, 1ER GRAND CRU CLASSE

Bordeaux, France

A Premier Grand Cru Classe B, Chateau Troplong Mondot is today considered one of the most prestigious properties of the Right Bank in the Saint-Emilion Grand Cru appellation of Bordeaux. One of the superstars of the vintage, it boasts an inky/purple color as well as abundant notes of blueberry liqueur, graphite, truffles, acacia flowers and subtle toast. Full-bodied, opulent and already easy to drink, this large-scaled wine possesses high levels of tannin, but they are relatively well-concealed by the extravagant fruit, glycerin, texture and density of this compelling Troplong Mondot.
