| Grapes: Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc | Origin: France, Bordeaux |
Lea & Sandeman review
A classic year, with not the greatest maturity in the grapes, says the maitre du chai. Deep colour, pure and quite thick-textured. Nose is pointed and bright, and so is the attack. Dry, very pure but not massively sweet - a smooth cool and suave fruit and tannin with a touch of spice. Dark, curranty, compact and long. 91/100Other reviews and comments
Floral, with aromas of blackberry, plum and toasted oak. Full-bodied and chewy, with slightly extracted tannins that should come around in the bottle. A chunky wine. 10,000 cases made.
89-91/100
James Suckling, The Wine Spectator
Another terrific effort from charming proprietress Christine Valette, the dense blue/purple-hued 2004 Troplong Mondot displays a striking nose of acacia flowers intermixed with crushed rocks, black currants, cherries, blueberries, and raspberries. This layered, structured, backward, but enormously well-endowed 2004 is a marvelous demonstration of how to produce an elegant as well as substantially flavored wine. It will need 2-3 years of cellaring, and should keep until 2020.
92-94/100
