St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend

Titties and beer! This is super young but what a wine. Opulent and fleshy yet has the limestone backbone which keeps it lively. Needs time but a great reference point for what I think was the best st emilion in 2008

I detected something here I have been looking for in the more recent vintages of this amazing property: balance and acidity!
Classic, but still a baby so while it is very good, it should be excellent in another 5-7 years and go another 15-20.

Still very young, but in the adolescent stage and just starting to show some bottle bouquet. Always love Troplong.

This was fairly tight & needed some air to show mostly black fruits, full bodied with notes of earth, cedar, sweet spices, graphite, mocha & tobacco

Rich, dense, full bodied showing mostly black fruits with sweet spices, cedar, leather, graphite, mocha & tobacco leaf.

A point!

Beautiful wine, structured and chewy. Plums, tobacco, vanilla, mocha and cedar.
Loved the wonderful acidity and grainy tannines.
Drink now (with a short decant) and in the next 10 years. 94-95/100

A few more years perhaps?

So disappointed. Almost bitter.

Amazing
