Chateau Troplong Mondot 1998 Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classe 75cl / 13%

A bottle of 1998 Château Troplong Mondot, a Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classé from Bordeaux. The 30 hectares of vineyards are planted with 90% Merlot and 5% each of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.

'A fabulous effort and a sleeper of the vintage, which may turn out to be the finest Troplong Mondot since the 1990, the black/purple-colored 1998 exhibits floral, blueberry, blackberry, licorice, vanilla, and truffle-like aromas (or is it charcoal/graphite?). Dense, full-bodied, and pure, yet extremely fresh and elegant, this beautifully focused wine will be at its finest between 2005 and 2025. 93/100' Robert Parker, tasted 2002

This lot comes from the temperature-controlled cellar of media businessman and wine enthusiast Lord Evgeny Lebedev, where it has been kept since purchase direct from UK importers.
