Lisa Perotti Brown bewertet das Fassmuster am 27.04.2018 in der Ausgabe 236 des Wine Advocate wie folgt: Troplong Mondot saw hardly any frost—less than 10%. The 2017 Troplong Mondot is blended of 85% Merlot. 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc. Very deep purple-black in color. it offers up a cedar chest. cinnamon stick and cloves-laced nose with a core of crème de cassis. blackberry compote and preserved plums plus wafts of licorice. violets and sandalwood. Full-bodied. concentrated and sporting a firm frame of velvety tannins. it has a lively line lifting the densely packed fruit. finishing long and on a compelling savory note.
James Suckling bewertet das Fassmuster in 2018 wie folgt:A bright and vivid red with dark-berry and plum character. Floral and bright. Medium to full body. Intense and crystal-clear. Ultra-fine tannins with a long and beautiful. Wonderful balance and harmony.
Das Team von Vinous bewertet das Fassmuster in 2018 wie folgt:The 2017 Troplong Mondot is easily one of the wines of the vintage. New CEO Aymeric de Gironde (formerly of Cos d’Estournel) and consulting oenologist Thomas Duclos are masterminding a remarkable new chapter in the life of Troplong Mondot. A major stylistic shift in the direction of freshness and energy has resulted in a positively stunning Troplong Mondot endowed with tremendous depth and vibrant. A rush of black cherry. plum. mocha. new leather and spice builds as this gorgeous Saint-Émilion shows off its breeding and total class. The blend is 85% Merlot. 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc. -Antonio Galloni-
