Tasting Notes
Vinous 89
The 2018 Le Petit Lion has a light, earthy bouquet of dusky black fruit, a light marine scent emerging with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins and a fine bead of acidity. A little orange zest emerges toward the finish, which lingers nicely. This is an approachable Deuxieme Vin, which is what I suspect is its intention, but it will give up to 10 years of drinking pleasure.
Anticipated maturity: 2023-2030
