2014 Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild, Pauillac 6x75cl

Robert Parker 92

The 2014 Le Petit Mouton has quite a sophisticated bouquet with black fruit, black truffle, pencil box and a light marine influence. The palate is medium-bodied with a graphite-driven entry, the acidity very well judged, gently building towards an elegant, supple finish that seems to caress the mouth. These days, Le Petit Mouton is equal to many Grand Vin in Pauillac-a remarkable melioration over the last decade. [Neal Martin, 28/09/2017]
