Tasting Notes
We heard people saying rude things about 2011 Troplong Mondot but we found it to be a rich, full bodied compote of red and black fruit. Sweet, full and delicious. Those looking for the lighter style of 10 years ago beware but if you aren't afraid of a more modern style then this is for you.

I love the aromas of blackberries with hints of minerals and flowers. Hints of subtle sandalwood. Full body, with a beautiful balance of juicy fruit and bright acidity. Long and spicy with intense character. 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc. jamessuckling.com
Dark and modern but the power commensurate with the vintage. Intense, spicy and rich but a little less force and more finesse. Drink 2020-2030. Decanter.com
A gorgeous red, offering ganache and fig notes melded nicely together, with ample heft, but good freshness, with a long, dark, richly layered finish. This goes for power—and pulls it off. James Molesworth, WineSpectator.com
