Château Troplong-Mondot - Saint-Émilion - Grand Cru - 2002 - 750ml - Château Troplong-Mondot

From bottle, the 2002 appears to have gone to sleep. Nevertheless, it is a fine effort exhibiting a dense ruby/purple colour along with notes of roasted coffee intermixed with melted liquorice, black currants, dried herbs, and earth. Spicy and medium-bodied, with moderate concentration, this beautifully made, elegant offering can be drunk early in life, but can evolve for 10-13 years.
