CHÂTEAU LA MONDOTTE 1998

Saint-Émilion. Grand Cru Classé
u. 2 x bn. 4 x vts. 2 x marked labels. 1 x scraped label.

An amazing tour de force in winemaking, this massive, opaque black/purple-colored offering boasts an extraordinarily pure nose of black fruits intermixed with cedar, vanillin, fudge, and espresso. It is unctuously-textured, with exhilarating levels of blackberry/cassis fruit and extract, as well as multiple dimensions that unfold on the palate. The 50-second finish reveals moderately high tannin. Despite its similarity to dry vintage port, it is not a wine to drink early. It is a colossal wine! Anticipated maturity: 2008-2035. April 2001 WA 96

6 bts.    per lot $1,400 - $1,600

Realised: $1,368
