Château Troplong-Mondot - 1er GC classé B - 2013 - St-Emilion Grand Cru Château Desmirail harmonious and tensile on theRobert Parker's Wine Advocate : Full bodied and atypically rich and concentrated for a 2013, it boasts beautiful blueberry and creme de cassis fruit as well as underlying chalky minerality, and good richness and concentration. It is a noteworthy homage to Christine Vallete's brilliant efforts at Troplong Mondot, which resulted in the elevation of this estate in the 2012 St. Emilion classification. It can be enjoyed over the next 10 15 years.
