Lot 374 Details
CHÂTEAU TROPLONG MONDOT 1989

Saint-Émilion. Premier Grand Cru Classé B
u. 2 x bn. 2 x marked labels. 2 x scraped capsules.

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. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2025. Last tasted, 11/02. WA 95+

2 mags.    per lot $700 - $900

Realised: $852
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
