The wine's tonality is dark and thick

grainy tannins

but it does so minus that delicate floral embroidery that comes forth with such delight in 2013

yet with a refreshing finish

Petit Mouton other_regions making this estate the biggestThe 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.
