Lot #617. Troplong Mondot 1989

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 96 RP.
"The 1989 Troplong-Mondot is an extraordinary wine. It is slightly less evolved than the 1990, with more muscle and tannin, but equally rich and compelling. The color is an opaque dark ruby/purple, and the wine offers up aromas of licorice, prunes, black cherries, and sweet cassis fruit intermingled with high quality toasty new oak and smoke. This is a full-bodied, rich, layered, concentrated wine that should evolve more slowly than the 1990. It is a spectacular achievement in this vintage!" Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition # B1, Jan 1998
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $130
