Château Troplong Mondot 1. GCCB 2019 0,75 l

hodnotenie a citácia Robert Parker Wine Advocate: 98/100 "Has any Bordeaux château realized a more wholesale stylistic revolution in so short a time than Troplong Mondot? Of course, the deep clays that define the core vineyards around the château itself are never likely to produce light or ephemeral wines, but de Gironde has astutely understood that (to develop an analogy), when driving down hill, one can ease off on the accelerator. Since Aymeric de Gironde arrived at the estate in late 2017, the ultra powerful "shock and awe" style of the 2000s is out, and a new refinement is in.

Harmonious and penetrating, I never thought I'd taste a wine like this from Troplong Mondot. The 2019 Troplong Mondot is a ringing endorsement of the new direction, wafting from the glass with complex aromas of wild berries, violets, coniferous forest floor, licorice, raw cocoa and subtle spices, followed by a full-bodied, velvety and layered palate that's seamless and perfumed, its enveloping core of succulent fruit framed by rich, powdery tannins and lively acids. "Drink date: 2027-2060 hodnotenie a citácia James Suckling: 98/100 "The purity of fruit is pretty phenomenal here with blackcurrants, cherries and crushed-stone undertones.

Floral notes of roses and violets, too. Full-bodied, yet this is a linear style with super fine tannins and great length and beauty. You really want to drink it.

It grows on the palate and shows real power, with breadth and depth. Remains fresh throughout. Really something.

Try after 2026."
