Chateau Troplong Mondot 2012 Magnum in 6er Holzkiste

Lobenberg: Schwarz mit rubinroten Reflexen. Extrahierte schwarzbeerige Nase, Teer, Gummi, sattes Holztoasting. Neben eingekochter Brombeere und schwarzer Kirsche und Backpflaume dann auch etwas Pfirsich. Auch im Mund neben zuvor genannter schwarzer Frucht dieser feine Pfirsich, auch Rosenblätter, perfekt poliertes, sehr feines Tannin. Sehr harmonischer Troplong, weniger Blockbuster, viel Finesse, fein und lecker. 92-94/100

Parker: A brilliant 2007 from proprietor Christine Valette, this blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon was produced from yields of 27.5 hectoliters per hectare, and hit 13.5% natural alcohol. An inky/blue/purple color is followed by an extraordinary perfume of acacia flowers, blueberries, blackberry liqueur, graphite, and smoke. As the wine sits in the glass, it blossoms beautifully to display a raspberry-infused, rich personality with tremendous opulence, a layered mouthfeel, elegance, superb purity, sweet tannins, and low acidity. Drink this beauty now and over the next 10-15 years. 93/100 -- WS: Shows blackberry and blueberry on the nose, with hints of wet earth. Medium- to full-bodied, with slightly chewy tannins and lots of new wood. Really polished.
