  Finally a good bottle of Pataille. These are so inconsistent for me, they do not seem to age or travel well. Started off reductive, vertical, mineral driven. And over time became richer, the brett started to show more, and displayed classic '19 characteristics with more tropical fruit character. This was less natty than some of the other bottles I've had, but still present.
  
  Could wait longer on them but these bottles should be drank young.

  Not quite what I expected, surprisingly rich and plushy. Very good complexity and weight, good length, but without the lift I'd hoped to find in this wine. Impressive regardless.

  Great value! On a fleshy, richer style, but without clogging or heaviness.

  Smoky and refined with a piquant lime marmalade character, a hint of vanilla and white blossom. A beautiful nose- this has become so expressive after a couple of nice but unremarkable bottles from the same case. Good body, concentration and juicy bright acidity on the palate- only a slight lack of density and longevity suggest it’s merely a village wine.

  Best bottle yet, we are definitely back at the level that made me buy a case. Really crunchy, crisp, alive and singing this evening. Lashings of citrus, orange peel and apple underpinned by slate elements and swirls of wood-smoke. Wonderful mid-palate tanginess. Great stuff from this appelation, punches well above its weight due to the skill of the winemaker.
