Details
Château Troplong-Mondot--Vintage 1989
Saint-Emilion, grand cru classé
Tasting note: A very youthful wine that probably will never hit the heights of the 1990 (but how many wines do?), this dense ruby/purple-colored wine has a very pure nose of roasted espresso, black cherry jam, blackberry, mineral, and even a hint of blueberry. Some smoke and high-quality toasty new oak are there, but now that seems to be fading into the background. Quite full-bodied, powerful, and concentrated, yet at the same time elegant, this wine still seems very young and unevolved. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 4th Edition # B5 (Jan 2003)
