Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2015 Le Petit Mouton is a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, matured in 40% new oak and the remainder one-year-old. It has a very intense bouquet for this deuxième vin, a far cry from the rustic wines produced in the 1990s. It is almost opaque, a wall of blackberry, cassis and tobacco aromas, perhaps the most powerful that I have ever tasted under this label. Over ten minutes, I noticed it become more sensual and rounded. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin, like the aromatics, incredibly powerful and assertive. Wonderful delineation here, very mineral-driven with a bravura of a finish. It begged the question...is this really a second wine? Maybe they should rename it

Extremely perfumed with dried flowers and dark berries such as plums and cherries. Sandalwood, too. Full body, integrated tannins and chocolate, walnut and cedar character. Goes on for minutes. Superb second wine of Mouton.

The nose is fine, elegant, racy, harmonious and offers concentration (but full of finesse) as well as racy minerality. It reveals notes of wild cassis, wild strawberry, gravels and Sichuan pepper combined with slight / discreet hints of violet, incense, spices, a very discreet toasted hint (in the background) as well as an imperceptible hint of cardamom and almond (in the background). The mouth is fruity, well-built and offers a nice volume, a beautiful definition, a beautiful freshness, a slight acid frame, fat, a beautiful structure, delicacy as well as a beautiful and silky matter. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy / juicy blackberries, crunchy wild strawberry, redcurrant and slight notes of cassis, plum associated with a hint of tobacco, licorice, toasted touches as well as an imperceptible touch of tea. Tannins are well-built and very slightly chewy. Good length. There are a slight hint of caramelization / crushed almond as well as an imperceptible hint of cocoa on the persistence (brings gourmandise).
