Rich fruit (quite dark) with a some new oak evident lending sweetness and a bit of smoke initially. Some funk (maybe a touch of Brett) mingling with a little sous-bois. Super vibrant and enjoyable.

30 min decant. Sour cherry fruit, floral notes and stemsy spiciness. This wears the heat of 2018 well... lots of freshness and acidity. Possibly a touch blocky but the decant fixes much of this. Excited to see this with a few more years on it. I'm becoming quite the Pataille fan

Deep garnet/ruby. Rich, concentrated, quite full-bodied. Red fruits, maybe something a bit herbal? Slight forest floor, possibly. Long. This is excellent.

In a much better place than when i last tasted 6 months ago. Quite bold and intense but more well integrated. Big black fruit, chocolate.

Consistent with my note a few months ago and has shed some baby fat in the meantime. Needs a couple of years at least but developing very nicely.
