Tasting notes
The 1999 Le Petit Mouton was made in limited quantities (30,000 bottles). It is a ripe, seductive, low acid, plump effort. The wine is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc. This fleshy second wine offers notes of mocha, spice box, cassis, and oak. It will drink well for 10-15 years.

Medium-deep red. Warm aromas of redcurrant, leather, minerals and spices. Very smooth and suave in the mouth; not especially dense or sweet but quite silky and attractive. Finishes with dusty, fine tannins and moderate length.
