This has the trademark deep, dark colour and density, inky-black. Rich, quite a sweet fruitcake like density, this is powerful, and glossy. This will certainly appeal to many, but quite full on for now. L&S (Apr 2015)

The 2014 Troplong Mondot is fabulous. Dark cherry, mocha, cloves, new leather and spices all blossom in the glass. Voluptuous and racy to the core, the 2014 captures all the Troplong Mondot signatures. A huge, explosive finish rounds things out in style. The 2014 is going to need time to fully come together, but it is a special wine, that much is clear. The blend is 90% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc. Tasted twice. Rating: 92 - 95+ Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (May 2015)
The Château Troplong Mondot 2014 is a stylish wine this year. The nose is well defined and elegant with pure blackberry and red plum fruit, fine mineralité and poise here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, grainy tannin and well-integrated oak. There is a touch of dark chocolate coming through on the finish, but it is lightly sprinkled over the fresh black fruit that possess less fatness than recent vintage, but in my opinion allow the terroir to be expressed. This is a fine Troplong Mondot that should drink well over 15 to 20 years. (Incidentally, another sample was showing not quite as well, but I have used my note taken from the UGC poured by someone at the property). Drinking range: 2019 - 2035 Rating: 91-93 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (May 2015)
Rich and intense with chocolate, liquorice and dark fruit notes. Sweet but poised on the palate. Modern extraction but with retraint. Firm, long finish. Drinking range: 2021 - 2034 Rating: 91 James Lawther MW, decanter.com (Apr 2015)
