Le Petit Mouton de Mouton-Rothschild Pauillac 2020 (750ml) MarboroughCritical Acclaim JS98 James Suckling This is very, very layered with gorgeous fruit and velvety tannins. Hints of chocolate. Full bodied and chewy with soft, fine tannins. 72% cabernet sauvignon, 24% merlot and 4% cabernet franc. Gorgeous second wine. Barrel Sample: 97 98 JD95 Jeb Dunnuck The 2020 Le Petit Mouton De Mouton Rothschild is another powerful, concentrated wine, especially in the vintage, and it has a pure, incredibly Cabernet Sauvignon

the average vine age is around 80 years old

with steady sunlight aiding fruit set and berry development

and delicate floral notes mingling with hints of cedar and baking spice

displaying aromas of black cherry

The wine comes from south-facing vineyards planted on clay and limestone hills overlooking the Etang de Thau

This is one of the best offerings of L’Ecole’s Columbia Valley Cabernet

But while the scent of Picpoul is subtle

The blend is 94% Cabernet

Delight in vibrant notes of cherry

A touch of baking spice adds weight to the crisp palate reminiscent of juicy fresh pineapple
