The 2015 Troplong-Mondot has a backward nose, reticent and clearly not coming out to play for a few years. The palate is well balanced with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity, fresh and very elegant with a touch of spice and white pepper toward the persistent finish. Is there just a smudge of warm alcohol here? Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting.
