Chateau Troplong Mondot 2014 - Case of 12 Bottles (75cl)The 2014 Troplong Mondot performed to my expectation now that the wine is in bottle. It has a refined bouquet with black cherries, raspberry preserve and mineral scents that gain intensity in the glass, but never get carried away. The palate is medium bodied with fine tannin, tensile in the mouth but surprisingly linear and conservative, at least in the first half. It is fresh and precise, then delivers the weight and concentration as it fans out on

A beautifully layered nose offers up notes of liqueur-like red and dark cherry

the 2016 Virginie de Valandraud offers gorgeous black cherries

enjoy it over the coming 10-12 years
