2008 Chateau Troplong Mondot

"A wine of the vintage candidate in 2008, Troplong Mondot’s offering was produced from yields of 41 hectoliters per hectare and achieved 14.5% natural alcohol. A classic blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, it offers copious quantities of blue and black fruits, a full-bodied opulence, sweet tannin and a fabulous texture as well as finish. A great effort for the vintage, it couldn’t happen to a more deserving proprietor, Christine Valette. Bravo!" - 96/100 Wine Advocate
