美味しいワインと出会う旅

CP89　　 2006年にプルミエ・グラン・クリュ・クラッセＢに昇格したシャトーです。 香は良いのですが、03のこのクラスとしてはボーディーが薄く感じます。前日に04のレヴァンジルを飲んだ影響もあるとは思います。

良いサンテミリオンである事は事実で、特に香の複雑さと余韻は特筆すべき物があります。もう少し寝かせて飲めば、繊細で柔らかいボディーと香りのバランスが取れるのでしょう。5年後が楽しみなワインです。

［2003］ シャトー・トロロン・モンド　（サンテミリオン）Ch. Troplong Mondot

2003 Troplong-Mondot

Apr 2006 Robert Parker 92+ Drink: 2012 - 2025 $52-$119 (50)
This superb estate, run with impeccable attention to detail by Christine Valette, has produced a formidable, backward wine that will require considerable cellaring. When St.-Emilion's new classification is announced in several months, it will be a crime if Troplong is not promoted to Premier Grand Cru Classe status. Even by Bordeaux standards this is a weighty vin du garde, with huge density, a backward, masculine style, an inky dark ruby/purple hue, and subtle notions of white chocolate, espresso roast, plums, blackberries, and currants. Full-bodied, powerful, and "closed for business" at present, it exhibits beautiful purity, stunning depth, and a long, persistent finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2025+.

Having exploded in quality, the 2003 is now much more massive, concentrated, and powerful than it was a year ago. Now one of the top right bank wines of the vintage, it exhibits a dense purple color as well as a bold, dramatic fragrance of melted chocolate, espresso roast, smoke, plums, blackberries, and black currants. Full-bodied and rich, with low acidity, high tannin, loads of glycerin, and massive, multilayered flavors, this brilliant effort (tasted on three separate occasions) reminded me of the prodigious 1990. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2022.

Apr 2004 Robert Parker (90-92) Drink: 2007 - 2020 $52-$119
Just beginning to strut its stuff, this is an outstanding offering from proprietor Christine Valette. Deep ruby-colored with purple nuances, it displays an evolved, sweet nose of blackberries, currants, melted licorice, flowers, and earth. Medium-bodied, pure, and ripe, with low acidity, noticeable tannin, and a plump, fleshy finish, this seductive, round 2003 will be accessible early, and drink well for 12-15 years. While not as spectacular as the 2001, 2000, or 1998, it is a very successful effort. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2020.
