Château Troplong Mondot 2005
Saint-Émilion - 1st Grand Cru Rated B
100/100 Parker
Cellaring : 2019 - 2043
Tasted by Robert M. Parker, Jr. in 2015: "The 2005 Troplong Mondot is a blend of 90% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc. I was moved as I tasted this wine, thinking of the late Christine Valette, who made this compelling wine while battling with considerable courage against an insidious disease. It is a great effort and a superstar of the vintage. Dense purple in color, it offers up notes of white chocolate, blackberry, cassis, and licorice, as well as a hint of truffle and a subtle oak background. Full-bodied, multi-layered, and spectacularly pure and rich, it is a tour de force, and a great tribute to an incredible woman. Remarkably young, this wine probably needs another 4-8 years in bottle, and should keep for 20 years or more. Bravo to the late Christine Valette!"
