The wine has received high praise from several professional reviewers, with particularly outstanding reviews from Jeff Leve and Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, both awarding it a score of 98. Jeff Leve describes the wine as having "palate coating richness" and mentions that it is "pure velvet in texture with layers of opulent fruits and a finish that sticks." He highlights the decadent character of the wine and suggests that it has significant aging potential.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate also extols the wine’s virtues, noting its "deep garnet color" and its explosion of "beautiful floral notes of red roses and candied violets" along with a core of "plum preserves, kirsch, and blueberry pie." The review emphasizes the wine's full-bodied, rich character, plush tannins, and long, sinfully hedonic finish.

James Suckling awarded the wine a score of 94, praising its "very intense blackberry and blueberry character" and describing it as "so delicious and pretty." He notes the wine's "super refined tannins" and calls it "very rich and a little high-octane," suggesting that it should be tried in 2018.

Vinous also gave the wine a 94, highlighting its "elegant bouquet with perfumed red berry fruit laced with rose petal, sous-bois, and pencil box aromas." The review acknowledges the high alcohol and new oak presence but appreciates the "silky smooth" palate and "velvety finish."

Decanter provided a score of 92, describing the wine as "impressive, broad-shouldered, concentrated, and full of exotic spicing." However, the review notes that the wine's 16% alcohol content is "extremely hard to reconcile with the balance that most people look for in Bordeaux."

Wine Enthusiast also gave the wine a 92, calling it a "massive wine" with "heady smoky wood aromas" and a "solid core of tannins." The review mentions that the wine's immense palate has bitterness and considerable weight, with the alcohol showing through at the end.

Overall, the 2010 Troplong Mondot Ex-Chateau 2023 is a powerful, rich, and complex wine that has garnered high scores and praise for its depth, opulence, and aging potential.
