  Deep ruby colour. Medium and developing nose with cassis, coffee, leather, vanilla, tobacco and dark plum. Medium taste of cassis, coffee, tobacco, leather, dark plum, wet stone, cedar and dried fruit. Medium (+) long and dry finish. High acidity. Medium (+) tannins. Medium body. A very good and well matured Medoc, still on the fruity side. Perhaps my favourite for drinking now of the vertical. Drink now or over the next five years. Goes well with beef or lamb.

  Medium-bodied, soft, round, fruity, and easy to enjoy for uncomplicated quaffing over the next year or two . Drink from 2022-2024.

  Adventure into Médoc land. Intriguing, not least to see how a Derenoncourt advised winery shapes up after five years. Was he advising in 2015 or only after 2016 when the Moueix took over? I note that the label says "Antoine Moueix Propriétaire" on the label. Makes sense given the time of bottling.
  2015: 60% CS, 30% M, 7% CF, 3% PV. As the CS was picked after the rain, you note the dilution.
  Colour: medium deep red, medium rim with purple tinge.
  Nose: full, fresh, notably CS, notes of oak,
  Taste: Med body, soft, quite tannic, medium fruit in a classc style with definite CS flavours. Short finish, moderate fruit.
  Overall: hmmm... The Mouiex clan bought the property in 2016. Jury out until their work is done? This wine is good honest Cru Bourgeois Médoc at 13% ABV in a rather old fashioned style. In this age of high alcohol fruitbombs, that is no bad thing for a relaxed supper.
  Dinner party fact: the property belonged to the Lords of d'Aux in the 17th Century. Patache means, according to the Larousse, an uncomfortable horse drawn carriage or in "vieux" French, a boat used by the Customs (Douanes). Take your pick!

  Dark fruits and oak with solid tannin which will continue to evolve. Proper Bordeaux which should come into its own in the next few years.
