Opened a bottle of Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild (Pauillac) and I’ve got to say—it really impressed me.
On the nose, I got a lot of dark fruit—blackcurrant, blackberry, and even a touch of plum. There’s that Pauillac signature too: cedar, graphite, and a subtle smokiness that gives it real character.
On the palate, it’s rich but not overwhelming. The blackcurrant and cassis come through first, followed by hints of cocoa, tobacco, and a little spice. The tannins are present—firm but polished—and the acidity keeps it fresh, so it doesn’t feel heavy at all.
