Tasting Notes
Neal Martin 90
As I found out of barrel, the 2021 Le Petit Mouton has a pronounced graphite/pencil box-scented bouquet that makes it very classic in style. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins for a Deuxieme Vin and fine salinity a Le Petit Mouton with grip and backbone. There s maybe just a little hardness to contend with toward the finish? Give this two or three years in bottle.
Anticipated maturity: 2025-2040
Antonio Galloni 91-93
The 2021 Le Petit-Mouton is a bit slender and reserved in this vintage, but very fine nonetheless. All the elements are nicely balanced. Dried herbs, orange peel, mint, pine, cinnamon and new leather open with a bit of coaxing. I would give this a few years to soften. The Cabernet Sauvignon imprint is quite strong today
Anticipated maturity: 2028-2036
