Possessing medium-bodied richness

some larger vats

black and blue fruit profile easily

I really like the amount of dry extract here as it relegates the still firm tannins to the background and this should age effortlessly for years to come

mouthwateringly salt-tinged finish also affords glimpses of smoky and stony mineral nuances rare in a Riesling this rich

Petit Mouton other_regions Possessing medium-bodied richnessThe 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.
