  Last bottle was really great, should have waited before I opened the earlier ones!

  This was drinking really beautiful now. Light, elegant and a lovely fruitiness still with some depth, complexity and wonderful balance from the secondary and tertiary notes as well.
  
  Cherry coke, raspberry, mashed strawberry, blackberry, rose petals, crushed stone, mushroom, slight oak touch, a bit of vanilla and some earthiness from forest floor and mushroom. Only a very bit of funk but almost unnoticeable compared to other bottles from Pataille and a bit of spiciness on the tongue.

  Much darker and richer than the 2012 that I drank a couple of years ago. Cherries came through, very well balanced.

  Dark red/cola in color. Transparent, but dark and not quite as crystalline as some red burgundy can be. On the nose, this is quite ripe and open with liqueur like notes of summer berries, cherry, and red fruits. Almost candied, but in a good way. Quite floral as well (lilac) and then spice. On the palate, this has nice body and mid palate density. Texture is more fine linen than silk. Red fruited and very spicey with good mineral undertones that give the wine lift. A core acid structure that is very well integrated along with ripe but quite present tannins. This is quite smooth right now with a slightly spicey finish with nice length. Alcohol seems medium to me and very well balanced. Whole cluster shows on the palate for sure. Quite enjoyable.

  Light bodied and delicate, but rather polished and with the ripeness of the vintage showing through. A wine to bridge burgundy and CA Pinot palates.
