CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2020 Mondot is more backward on the nose, with an impressive concentration of blackberry and bilberry fruit. Touches of cedar develop with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied and very smooth, though here, it may be a bit over-extracted, which denies the delineation and precision it needs on the finish. Hold it for another couple of years. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
Lisa Perrotti-Brown
The 2020 Troplong Mondot is composed of 85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc, harvested from 4th September and lasting for about three weeks. The pH is 3.53, the IPT (tannin index) is 75 and the alcohol is 14.5%. Opaque purple-black colored, it opens with a vivacious burst of black fruitsa stewed plums, baked blackberries and boysenberriesa giving way to a fragrant undercurrent of licorice, ground cloves, cinnamon stick and lilacs, with a touch of bouquet garni. The full-bodied palate is chock-full of plump, juicy black fruits and savory sparks, framed by fantastically ripe, fine-grained tannins and bold freshness, finishing long and opulent.

Tasted blind. Deep crimson. Open dark fruits, pretty oaky and slightly tough on the palate. The fruit fights for attention with the powerful tannins but it should become more elegant with time and the fruit should keep up. (JH)
