A highly involved collector who acquired the wine in his cellar over many years. Sourced from negotiants, LCBO vintages releases and agencies, all wines were stored in a home cellar equipped with a state-of-the-art cooling and humidification system. A photo of his cellar is included in the gallery.
The tasting note for 2000 Chateau Troplong Mondot St Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classe B is from Robert Parker and the score is 96 - Extremely young with an unbelievable deep purple color, the 2000 Troplong Mondot has hardly budged since I tasted it in 2003. Two recent tastings confirmed that this is the greatest Troplong Mondot between their profound 1990 and more recent vintages such as 2005, 2008, and 2009. Copious chocolate, graphite, blackberry, blueberry, cassis, and ink characteristics are present in this full-bodied, powerful, massive St.-Emilion. While the tannins are noticeable, they are better integrated than they were seven years ago, and the fruit, extract, and richness clearly outweigh the wine’s structure. This 2000 will benefit from another 4-5 years of cellaring (longer than I originally predicted), and has at least two decades of drinkability ahead of it.
