title: Château Troplong Mondot 2012 Barrel Sample  (Saint-Émilion)
description: 91–93. Barrel sample. While initially tough and almost too extracted, this firm, dark wine has intense density and spice from new wood. As it opens on the palate, slowly hints of juicy black-currant fruit and acidity comes through.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
designation: Barrel Sample
