The 2004 Chateau Troplong Mondot is a Grand Cru Classe from St. Emilion in Bordeaux. It is a dark garnet in color with a somewhat stinky nose. Along with grippy tannins there was dark fruit and tobacco in the mouth. A very well balanced wine with plenty of flavor. I believe it would go great with roast lamb and should hold up in the cellar for many more years.
We enjoy wine, food and travel. Pull That Cork is a chronicle of our wine adventures, the food and wine pairings we create and our travels which are increasingly organized around wine.
