Chateau Troplong Mondot, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France 2016 Limniona fine tannins and again thatComing from one of the coolest terroirs in Saint Emilion, the 2016 Chteau Troplong Mondot is a blend of 89% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2% Cabernet Franc brought up in 77% new French oak. This deep purple hued effort offers a smorgasbord of powerful blue and black fruits, smoked earth, truffle, chocolate, and licorice. Full bodied, deep, and opulent on the palate, its a truly great wine as well as one of the superstars in 2016. It should drink
