Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Troplong Mondot 1er Grand Cru Classe B 2014

95
/100

Lobenberg: På det øverste kalkstensplateau over Tertre Roteboeuf, bedste terroir, utrolig koncentreret vin i munden. Helt sikkert overmoden og bitter som ung, vinen har brug for tid. Troplong Mondot har storhed, meget slank i midten. Ikke sød nok. Dette er en Saint-Émilion lavet til power-vin, meget elegant i år.

Galloni om: Chateau Troplong Mondot 1er Grand Cru Classe B

-- Galloni: The 2014 Troplong Mondot is super-impressive. Dark cherry, plum, smoke, chocolate and dark spice notes meld together in this stunningly beautiful, opulent Saint-Émilion. Large-scale, ample and totally flamboyant in style, the 2014 is going to need time to fully come together, but it is striking even today. The blend is 90 % Merlot, 8 % Cabernet Sauvignon and 2 % Cabernet Franc. 96/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Troplong Mondot 1er Grand Cru Classe B

-- Jeb Dunnuck: The 2014 Troplong Mondot is unquestionably one of the wines of the vintage, and this beauty has more intensity, richness, and exuberance than just about every other wine in 2014. A blend of 90% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc brought up in 85% new French oak, it sports a deep purple/plum color as well as a smorgasbord of blackcurrants, blackberries, scorched earth, toasty oak, graphite, espresso, and earth. With full-bodied richness, beautiful purity of fruit, and a rich, yet weightless texture, it’s a big, yet classy, elegant, and seamless wine from Xavier Pariente that should be snatched up by readers. It’s already drinking well but has 20-25 years of prime drinking to go. 96/100

Suckling om: Chateau Troplong Mondot 1er Grand Cru Classe B

-- Suckling: The dark, savory, earthy and plum aromas plus the serious tannins here give this wine a lot of character, but it really needs a couple of years to open up. The finish packs a big tannic punch. For the long term. Try in 2024. 95/100

Jeff Leve om: Chateau Troplong Mondot 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Licorice, dark chocolate, coconut, smoke and black cherry liqueur pack the nose, making this is no wallflower of a wine. On the palate, this wine is full-bodied, rich, lusty and eager to show off its dusty, sweet, fruit-filled finish. There is a touch of heat in the endnote but there is so much fruit that the warmth is barely noticeable. The wine was produced from a blend of 90% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc, reaching 14.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.65. 95/100

Parker om: Chateau Troplong Mondot 1er Grand Cru Classe B

-- Parker: The 2014 Troplong-Mondot performed to my expectation now that the wine is in bottle. It has a refined bouquet with black cherries, raspberry preserve and mineral scents that gain intensity in the glass, but never get carried away. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, tensile in the mouth but surprisingly linear and conservative, at least in the first half. It is fresh and precise, then delivers the weight and concentration as it fans out on the finish, a residue of white pepper tingling on the aftertaste. This is a delicious Troplong Mondot that should age with style and grace. 94/100

Wine Spectator om: Chateau Troplong Mondot 1er Grand Cru Classe B

-- Wine Spectator: Solid, with plum, anise and blackberry notes allied to an ample but polished structure. Features prominent toast, but the fruit seems to be soaking it up. A lingering graphite hint adds positive vibes.—J.M. 92-95/100
