"The 2006 Château Troplong-Mondot has a meaty, slightly brettanomyces nose that nevertheless displays impressive volume, feisty black cherry and mulberry fruit, a touch of iodine developing with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with dark plum and cassis on the entry, full-bodied but not alcoholic, retaining that hedonism that is showed in its youth, though missing some delineation and finesse towards the "stocky," tarry finish." -Robert Parker

"Very dark. Not much nose except for a strange vanillin note - some unusual oak? Fresh crunchy fruit on the front palate and then pretty chewy, drying tannins afterwards. Not a very comfortable whole as it’s difficult to see the real fruit weight in the middle but it’s certainly intense. Very slightly exaggerated perhaps but there is also freshness on the finish too so the whole package is fine - just slightly lacking juiciness on the mid palate."

"Beautiful, with licorice and coffee character and hints of ripe fruit. Full and velvety, with lots going on."

"A wine that succeeds in combining great depth of flavor and structure with an impressive array of flavors. On top of the tannins is juicy black fruit, cocoa, a welter of spice and ripeness. The acidity and new wood put the wine into a more modern style. Wait for at least 5-7 years."
