  • Pretty flat and creamy. Based on this bottle I’d say these are past peak and falling fast.

  • Holding steady with last note from April this year. Took a little while to wake up this time.

  • Atypical but excellent. Pure aromas of bourbon, buttered popcorn, and river rock with hints of honeysuckle and green. Medium bodied with RIPPING acid, a balanced middle and a long, pure, chalky finish. Some sponti funk too. Pnp. Great with grilled gulf shrimp and a corn and basil succotash. Everyone enjoyed this. The structure tells me it will age, but the bourbon notes say "premox". Time will tell.

  • I've had a love affair with Thomas Pico's Chablis for a number of years and upon opening the entry level '09 I'm reminded why. I get a crystalline minerality that's not only super intense but so pure along with an aroma of wet stone and earth. The '09 is peaking now and starting to decline. I know this because after being open an hour it's starting to let off a whisper of oxidation and is turning a bit blousy. The palate here is so balanced with mouth watering acid and a deft touch of oak along with some tertiary oxidation and a finish that takes you on a stroll along a jasmin lined sidewalk. I'm not sure if I have another '09 Vent d'Ange but if I find another in the cave I'll be sure to drink it by Spring, 2017.

  • Absolutely delicious. Wonderful salivating acidity, lemon curd, saline, a certain richness thanks to year. Beautifully balanced. Would drink other bottles now but should hold for next 2+ years. One of the best I've had from Pattes Loup and shows they can age wonderfully.
