Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2018 Le Petit Mouton is blended of 56 Cabernet Sauvignon, 40 Merlot and 4 Cabernet Franc, harvested September 10 to October 3. It represents about 26 of the total crop and has 14 alcohol—the alcohol has never been this high! Deep garnet-purple, it comes bounding out of the glass with sit-up-and-beg notes of crème de cassis, plum preserves and mulberries plus nuances of chocolate box, Chinese five spice, licorice and candied violets. Full-bodied, rich and oh-so-hedonic, the palate is packed with juicy black fruit layers wrapped in a firm, velvety structure, with loads of fragrant spice layers on the very long finish. (LPB) 92-94+
