Inky bluish/black/purple with notes of spring flowers licorice camphor graphite and a boatload of blueberry black raspberry and blackberry fruit this is a powerful full-bodied Troplong Mondot. All the building components of acidity tannin wood and alcohol are judiciously and impressively integrated. It is a blend of 90% Merlot and the rest equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc made by Christine Valette and her husband Xavier Pariente with the consultancy help of Michel Rolland. Im not sure what the heady alcohol level is in Troplong Mondot in 2010 (it certainly must be in the 15%+ range) but it is well-concealed behind the extravagant richness full-bodied power and pure nobility of this majestic wine

Very intense blackberry and blueberry character on the nose. Full body with super refined tannins and beautiful fruit. So delicious and pretty. Very rich and a little high-octane. Yet luscious and flamboyant. Try in 2018.
jsWine Spectator: 94 Points
Ripe and dense but very vibrant and energetic as a torrent of cassis blackberry coulis and fig paste rushes through framed by enticing black licorice and evenly roasted alder and juniper notes. The long finish has lots of grip and acidity but they work together and are deeply embedded. Captures the fruit and structure of the vintage superbly. Best from 2015 through 2030.
