Petit Mouton Vintage:2004 with intense black and blue

with intense black and blue fruit flavors and a touch of candied violet

The mouthfeel

the 2000 delivers considerable intensity and raciness

In that sense

then fleshier on the mid-palate

Petit Mouton Vintage:2004 with intense black and blueThe 2015 Le Petit Mouton feels a little closed on the nose, which displays pronounced undergrowth and sage like aromas but is not quite endowed with the energy of the excellent Saint Juliens. The fresh, vibrant palate is medium bodied with fine tannin, crisp acidity and fine precision toward the finish, so that it ends on a high note. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting.
