Robert Parker (88)

Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 Le Petit Mouton has a rather austere bouquet with earthy, leathery black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with quite chewy tannin, plenty of red berry fruit, orange rind and clove, building towards quite a weighty finish that perhaps just lacks the class of more recent vintages. At ten years on, this Deuxième Vin is proving to be longer-lasting than many expected, and even though it is surpassed by more recent, finely-tuned vintages, it remains a satisfying Pauillac. Tasted February 2017.

Concentrated healthy crimson. Some sweetness and mild oakiness on the nose. Perhaps just a little too manipulated for perfection. Just falls away a little on the finish. Jancis Robinson

Vinous (88)

Medium red-ruby. Expressive nose melds currant, cherry, tobacco leaf and fresh herbs. Supple and drinkable already, with a fragrant component of exotic smoky oak adding interest to the dark berry and herbal flavors. Finishes slightly tart, with a fine dusting of tannins.
