Awards | "A red with deep and focused character of blackberry, blackcurrant and light ink. Lots of flowers, too, It’s medium-bodied with a solid core of fruit and a long finish. Clarity. 57% merlot, 40% cabernet sauvignon and 3% cabernet franc." - James Suckling "57% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc. Cask sample. Firm but fleshy with red- and dark-fruit notes. Broad but less focused across the palate then tightens on the finish, the tannins silky and fine. Slightly wayward – needs time to settle. (JL)" - Jancis Robinson "The 2021 Le Petit Lion is a fine second wine. It offers terrific energy in a soft, approachable style that will offer plenty of enjoyment over the next 15-20 years. Crushed flowers, spice, red cherry fruit, mint and white pepper lend brilliance. The 2021 is an articulate, reserved Petit Lion. This is very nicely done." - Vinous "This second-label wine is juicy, the aromatic black plum fruits and touches of toast are already balanced. It is succulent and saline, with red berry and grey-pepper flavors in harmony. Drink from 2027. " - Wine Enthusiast "Plush and vibrant, the fruit here is lively and zippy, it has real energy on the palate while having a bitterness and a salinity to the tannins that are grippy and mouthfilling. The whole palate is full of minty freshness giving this life and an aerial feel while the darker more savoury elements settle on the tongue and long finish. It's a little tight right now but shows refined and elegant winemaking. I like it's roguish charm with power and intention. Ageing in 40% new barrels. 3.54pH." - Decanter |
