2018 Mondot

The 2018 Mondot, the Second Wine of Troplong Mondot, has an open, generous bouquet of red cherries and crushed strawberry aromas, well defined and full of joie-de-vivre . The palate is well balanced with gentle, almost caressing tannins, but there is fine structure here and an attractive chalkiness on the finish. This is a fine Mondot that is best consumed over the next 4–6 years.
