Flowers, cherry pipe-tobacco, black raspberry, spearmint, black cassis, and plums open the perfume. On the palate, the wine is lush, fresh, sweet, spicy, pure, and rich, with a vibrant, long deep, black and blue fruit and tobacco packed finish. This is Jr. Mouton Rothschild!    Cabernet-dominated second wine from Pauillac’s venerable First Growth, Château Mouton Rothschild. Le Petit Mouton is made with the same fastidious attention to detail as the estate’s Grand Vin, using fruit from the First Growth’s younger vines.
