Château Troplong Mondot 2015 – Saint-Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classé B

The nose is elegant, fine and relatively concentrated. It reveals notes of blackberry and slight notes of black berry associated with a small touch of menthol, a fine note of violet, Zan as well as very slight notes of dusty oak. The palate is fruity, gourmand, elegant, sleek, nicely harmonious, relatively fat, quite powerful and offers finesse, a beautiful velvety matter and a small mineral frame (in the background). On the palate this wine expresses notes of blackberry, a touch of cherry, plum and slight hints of minerality associated with slight notes of mocha, an oaky touch and a toasted touch. Tannins are fine and dusty. Good length and persistence with slight lacteous / saline notes on the aftertaste. An elegant, fine and a nicely powerful wine !
