| Commentaire |
Las Cases's 2011 Le Petit Lion is a blend of 54% Merlot, 42.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. At 13.6%, it is slightly higher in alcohol than the grand vin because of the riper Merlot component. Its deep plum/purple color is accompanied by lovely berry and mocha fruit intertwined with a hint of coffee beans. With good fatness, it should drink nicely for a decade. |

95-96/100 Une merveille de vin de jeunes vignes ayant sans doute bénéficié des presses du grand vin, grand arôme de havane, race remarquable de terroir, souple mais vraiment plein, difficile de l’oublier… |
