Petit Mouton 2009 (750ml)

94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com: "The 2009 Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild is shockingly good, and I'd wager this second wine is better than many vintages of the Grand Vin in the past. Deep ruby/plum-hued, with a ripe, up-front, expressive bouquet of currants, toasted spice, chocolate, and tobacco, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a lush, rounded mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish." 05/23

93 Points, Jane Anson, Decanter: "Silky, seductive and engaging - you would be hard-pressed not to love this, frankly. Ribbons of violet run through the palate, showcasing the glamour of Petit Mouton and the pleasure of 2009, working together. You could enjoy this now, but there's absolutely zero rush as this is going nowhere. (Drink between 2019-2038)" 02/19

95 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "Plenty of bitter chocolate character, but also a lot of cassis and flesh, the abundant fine tannins making this big, ripe wine very attractive. Long, imposing, but beautifully balanced finish. Drink or hold. (Horizontal Tasting, London, 2019)" 02/19
