1998 Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild Pauillac (750ml) [SLC]

"88 out of 100 - This estate is finally making a good second wine. The 1998 Le Petit-Mouton, a blend of 61% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 14% Cabernet Franc, it exhibits more of a Clerc-Milon-like character than Mouton. It offers good color, medium to full body, plenty of smoky cassis and licorice, and a soft, expansive, drinkable style. Anticipated maturity: now-2012." - Robert M. Parker, Jr., Wine Advocate
