LE PETIT MOUTON 2nd wine of Ch. Mouton-Rothschild, Pauillac 2021 Bottle

Description

JAMES SUCKLING Score 93-94 "A well-framed Petit Mouton with a tight core of black fruit and bitter-chocolate and graphite notes. Firm, fine-tannin structure. Mineral and classic with a classy finish. 77% cabernet sauvignon, 19.5% merlot, 3% cabernet franc and 0.5% petit verdot."
DECANTER Score 92 POINTS : "Beautifully fragrant strawberries and red cherries, just so perfumed and appealing, really a very lovely nose drawing you in. Serious intensity here but also such a liveliness as well as creaminess. It has weight and layers while having fruit intensity and a core of aromatics. There's a softness and delicacy in terms of the tannins and frame, but a real base of concentrated blue, red and black fruits - strawberries, red cherries and blackcurrants. You get the stony tones and the clove on the finish but this feels round, expansive and approachable. Drinking Window 2025 - 2039."
