Château Troplong Mondot is amongst the finest producers in St-Émilion. The millennium vintage is an elegant Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon blend. In the words of esteemed critic Robert Parker, "Copious chocolate, graphite, blackberry, blueberry, cassis, and ink characteristics are present in this full-bodied, powerful, massive St.-Émilion." Drinking beautifully now.

The 2000 Troplong Mondot is another vintage that I have not tasted for a long time. This includes some Cabernet Sauvignon that was north-facing and subsequently removed for the 2001. The youthful bouquet of black cherries, cassis, marmalade and blood orange is vibrant and precocious and shows fewer secondary aromas than some of its peers. It opens nicely to reveal camphor and star anise aromas, almost Rhône-like. The palate is chewy, quite dense and backward but initially lacks a bit of charm. Licorice and sloes come through. Slightly granular in texture, it feels tight at first, but it deserves applause for its freshness and improves with aeration, loosening up and finally developing that missing charm.

Deep ruby in colour, with juicy acidity that balances out the abundant sandalwood and cedar oak notes, although this is ever so slightly drying on the finish. Bitter chocolate, pencil lead, crushed rocks, black cherries, has impact and is hard to argue with, but expect a broad-shouldered wine even at 22 years old. The firm tannic architecture is still in full swing, and this has a good few decades ahead of it. First vintage for technical director Rémy Monribot. 100% new oak, Michel Rolland consultant.Jane Anson21st July 2022
