2002 Chateau Troplong Mondot

[TheEngineer]

From a much maligned vintage... I really enjoyed this. Good elegant nose, nothing too complex but just enough, ripe, solid. On the palate, med bodied, crisp, crunchy on opening and then evolved with a bit of time to a medium plus, darker fruit, wine, good integration of oak, good balance, elegant. At $40, not the best of deals but a decent bottle that I would have at any time.
