Mesterværk med 100 point fra Robert Parker.
En imponerende årgang, der balancerer koncentreret kraft og fin elegance. Denne vin dominers af Merlot (85 %), tilsat Cabernet Sauvignon og en smule Cabernet Franc.
I næsen åbner den med mørke bær såsom brombær og kirsebær, ledsaget af noter af blomster (rosenblade), krydderurter, lakrids og grafit. Der er en tydelig mineralitet, især med kalksten og stenet/saltet undertone.
På tungen er den fuld- til medium-til-fyldig, med silkeagtige men faste tanniner og en smagspalet med moden rød og mørk frugt, delikat krydderi og en kølig syre, der giver friskhed. Eftersmagen er lang, kompleks og med en salt/mineral afslutning, der viser terroirets karakter.
En sublim vin, der kun vil blive endnu bedre de kommende årtier.

The 2022 Troplong Mondot has turned out brilliantly in bottle. Wafting from the glass with aromas of mulberries and blackberries mingled with notions of licorice, rose petals, incense and pencil shavings, it's full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with huge mid-palate volume, superb integration and an ineffable sense of completeness. This site always delivers power, but I've never tasted a Troplong that's simultaneously quite so powerful or quite so harmonious and suave. Concluding with a broad, violet-inflected finish, the 2022 represents the essence of this remarkable site.
Decanter - 99
Glorious aromatics burst out of the glass with scents of dried herbs, tobacco, mint and blackcurrant. Sumptuous and filling in the best way, the texture, weight and depth of the flavours here is seriously impressive - round and wide but so finessed so that it doesn't feel too heavy. Restrained power with such confidence. Balanced, harmonious and totally moreish, this is an incredible wine that already feels so approachable. Tannins are flawless and the juicy berry fruit with soft salted liquorice edges give nuance and interest. Still a little shy but such potential here. Wonderful.
James Suckling - 98
Hyper precision from the crushed-stone minerality here, with berries, spiced dark cherries, hibiscus and fresh plums. Extremely polished yet vivid, with fibrous, chalky tannins emitting vibrations before dissolving into a lengthy finish drenched with fruit. Concentrated but effortless. Already alluring but better in 3-4 years.

A wine of elegance and precision, the 2022 Troplong Mondot is exquisite. Crushed flowers, red berry fruit, blood orange, spice and menthol race across the palate. Troplong Mondot is without question one of the silkiest, most refined wines of the vintage. Absolutely nothing is out of place. Tasted two times.
