Decanter Magazine: 100 Points
A sensational Troplong. Vibrant and vivid, this makes you smile from the first smell: milk chocolate, floral notes of roses and lavender, wet stones, liquorice, cinnamon and ripe bramble fruits. Round and thrilling on the palate
Vinous: 98 Points
The 2020 Troplong Mondot is fabulous. Rich dark and expansive the 2020 is wonderfully exuberant right out of the gate. Black cherry plum gravel incense and licorice are all dialed up. There's tremendous breadth and power but without the excess weight of the past. Even so the 2020 is a big big wine that needs the better part of a decade to soften. All the classic Troplong structure is there but buffered by vibrant acids and tons of supporting minerality. Harvest started on September 5 and finished on October 8 a very wide window for the Right Bank and a reminder of how different the parcels are. The 2020 was done in 60% new oak 12% foudres 28% once-used barrels.
