Tasters often note aromas of blackberry, cassis, licorice, and cocoa, along with structured tannins and a long,, savory, and occasionally, mineral finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnother terrific effort from charming proprietress Christine Valette, the dense blue\/purple-hued 2004 Troplong Mondot displays a striking nose of acacia flowers intermixed with crushed rocks, black currants, cherries, blueberries, and raspberries. This layered, structured, backward, but enormously well-endowed 2004 is a marvelous demonstration of how to produce an elegant as well as substantially flavored wine. It will need 2-3 years of cellaring, and should keep until 2020.
