2008 - Chateau Troplong Mondot

Limit 1 case per customer.
"What a worthy rival to the prodigious 2005!...The inky/blue/purple-colored, formidably concentrated 2008 exhibits aromas of smoke, blueberry and blackberry liqueur, roasted coffee, and spice box. Boasting fabulous fruit and purity, a multilayered texture, full body, and prominent, but sweet, well-integrated tannin, this is a tour de force in winemaking from an outstanding and a perfectionist proprietor." Reviewed by Robert Parker. -The Wine Advocate, 95-97 pts.
"This is very serious and impressive for the vintage, offering silky tannins and cool, racy fruit, with nutmeg, blackberry and light vanilla character." -Wine Spectator, 91-94 pts.
