2016 Château Troplong-Mondot, Grand Cru Classé St-Emilion

2016 Château Troplong-Mondot, Grand Cru Classé St-Emilion

A big, muscular and rich style that shows a lot of power. Dense with quite ripe and voluptuous fruit of plum and cassis, there is something impressive about the boldness here. Yes it is bigger in style, but there is drama here.

Tasting notes

Dark glowing purple. Really taken to the limit of ripeness! Some gaminess and a velvety texture with a strong green streak running through it. Not a comfortable whole. As though exceptional sugar levels were the be all and end all. Not fun to drink, alas.

Tar and blackberries here on the palate with very polished tannins and dense, beautiful fruit. Tight and centered. Wow. Can it be better than the 2015? We will see.
