Chateau Troplong Mondot 1er Grand Cru Classe B 2003

Lobenberg: Schwarz mit rubinroten Reflexen. In der Nase rote und schwarze Kirschen. Im Mund schwarze Kirsche und Brombeere, sattes, sehr schön rundes Tannin, etwas bitter, sehr kraftvoller Wein mit guter Harmonie. Vielleicht sogar groß! 92-94+/100

Parker: Troplong Mondot’s 2003 is a brilliant success in this vintage, largely because of the limestone soils and incredibly low yields. There are nearly 70 acres of vines in production, yields were tiny, and the harvest was early. Nevertheless, there is an opulence and youthfulness in this wine that suggest it has at least a decade of life left. A luxurious effort with high glycerin, loads of blueberry, mulberry, black currant, licorice and charcoal ember-like notes, full body, low acidity and sweet tannin, this beauty is close to full maturity and can be drunk now as well as over the next decade. 94/100 (2014)
