Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
The 2005 Troplong Mondot is a blend of 90% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc. It was emotional tasting this wine, thinking of the late Christine Valette, who made this compelling wine while battling with considerable courage against an insidious disease. It is a great effort and a superstar of the vintage. Dense purple, it offers notes of white chocolate, blackberry, cassis and licorice as well as a hint of truffle and some subtle background oak. Full-bodied, multi-layered, and spectacularly pure and rich, it is a tour de force, and a great tribute to an incredible woman. Remarkably youthful, this wine probably needs another 4-8 years of bottle age, and should keep for 20 or more years. Kudos to the late Christine Valette!

Close to its peak drinking window, the wine loaded with wet earth, smoke, liquorice, dark chocolate, figs and black cherries. Concentrated, ripe, round, lush and long, this hedonistic treat ends with an opulent blast of dark cherries, espresso, smoke, blueberry and plum liqueur.

Exhibits aromas of coffee, ripe fruit, wild mushroom and blackberry. Dark and very complex. Full-bodied and chewy, yet velvety and beautiful, with intense flavours of blackberry, chocolate and tobacco. Very, very long This is layered and gorgeous.

Jean-Marc Quarin
Dark, intense and beautiful colour. Intense, fine and yet southern nose, fruity, deep, liquorice. Could be a little fresher. Fat on the attack, particularly fruity and ample in the mid-palate, the wine develops melting, powerful, a little marked by tannin, but juicy and creamy. Very long persistence despite a hint of austerity.

Deep dark ruby garnet, almost black core, violet reflections, intense berry compote on the nose, some kitchen vegetables, seems relatively mature. On the palate some dried fruit, enormously concentrated, bitter chocolate, powerful tannins that seem almost monstrous for this cru, very good length, will need a few years to mature, Vin de Garde. - BEST BUY

Adrian van Velsen - vvWine
Fruit-driven, medium intensity, feminine, with a mix of red and dark fruits, some liquorice. The palate is accessible, mild, round, fine, slightly creamy texture, polished tannins. Long, aromatic and balanced on the finish.

Tom Cannavan January - 2007
Tom Cannavan
A very different beast, with big, soft, open and plummy fruit to the fore, with lots of cedar and chocolate and a very come hither appeal. Plush, thick black fruit on the palate, with huge opulence and a thick smear of fruit and chocolaty tannins coating the palate. More showy than fundamentally excellent, but I enjoyed it for what it is.

Jancis Robinson February - 2023

Instant complexity and breadth on the nose – leather, earth, flint, dark chocolate, mushroom. Heady, rich nose. Still-grippy tannin, although it is open enough to drink now. Powerful and built for the long distance.
