Description
Robert Parker: It could be easy, after tasting the monumental 2005,
to dismiss the 2006 Troplong Mondot, but don't be so foolish.
Proprietress Christine Valette has turned out another exceptional
performance. Of course, this is not the 2005- a singular vintage
that will be difficult to duplicate in a 20-30 year span, but the
2006 Troplong Mondot is an impressive, powerful, broad, surprisingly
masculine and deep effort. Its inky/blue/purple color is accompanied
by an exceptional bouquet of powdered rock, blackberries,
blueberries, spring flowers, and hints of camphor as well as
espresso roast. The wine is full-bodied with a layered,
multidimensional texture, sensational purity and structure, and
elevated levels of tannin, concentration, and richness. Forget it
for 7-8 years, and drink it over the following 20-25 years.
