The 2016 Mondot is a Bordeaux Blend from the Saint-Émilion sub-region in Bordeaux, France. This red wine, produced by Mondot, is the second wine of Troplong Mondot, and comes with a cork closure and an alcohol content of 15.5%.

James Suckling awarded this wine a score of 91, describing it as "a very appealing introduction to modern-style St.-Emilion." He notes that it may not be the most concentrated wine from the appellation but highlights its mixed berries and a hint of vanilla on the medium-full body. Suckling also points out its "chalky character" that adds interest, making it suitable for both drinking now or holding.

Vinous reviewer Antonio Galloni also reviewed the 2016 Mondot, giving it a score of 90. He describes the wine as "dark, powerful and plush," with rich flavors including black cherry, leather, smoke, and bittersweet chocolate. However, Galloni also mentions the presence of hard tannins and elevated alcohol levels, suggesting that while it is a fine second wine, it does not surpass that status.

Wine Spectator also rated this wine a 90, emphasizing its dark profile with "bacon and toast notes." The reviewer found it accessible, with "fleshy plum sauce and warm fig fruit flavors backed by cocoa and tobacco accents on the finish." The publication recommends drinking this wine now through 2030 and notes that their tasting results were consistent over two sessions.

In summary, the 2016 Mondot is a well-regarded Bordeaux Blend with a balanced profile of mixed berries, vanilla, and a chalky character. It offers richness with flavors of black cherry, leather, smoke, bittersweet chocolate, plum sauce, fig, cocoa, and tobacco. While it may have some hard tannins and elevated alcohol, it remains a solid second wine from Troplong Mondot, suitable for immediate enjoyment or aging.
