Lot #94. Troplong Mondot 2012

Description: Consists of 12 Bottles, 0.75L
Packaging: OWC.
Score: 96 RP.
"The 2012 is another truly great wine from Troplong Mondot. It’s always sentimental to taste this wine, realizing that proprietress Christine Valette (the larger-than-life heart and soul behind this estate) has passed away. She was one of the bright, shining stars of Bordeaux. Nevertheless, her legacy is certainly well-established, and the quality of this wine is beyond reproach. Inky bluish purple, its great notes of cassis, blackberry, licorice are followed by a full-bodied, opulently textured wine with stunning concentration, purity and overall balance." Wine Advocate #218, Apr 2015
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $900
