pretty but rather subtle nose of fruit, flowers, forest, stewed meat, given its age, I was expecting it would be more open and lifted... primary on the palate, fantastic brightness pops on the mid-palate, deep well of ethereal savory notes fill out the finish... it appears this still needs time

PNP. Cork perfect. Color garnet. Nose shows dark cherry and maybe rhubarb? Definitely some sous bois and iron. Swishing shows both acid and tannin that are wrestling for dominance. At the end I think that the tannin wins. Sipping shows dense fruit that brings the structure in check. Very good wine and has years ahead.

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.

2015 vintage

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

2015 vintage

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 …

2015 vintage

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.

2015 vintage

This remains rather shy in its expression, but nice Marsannay nevertheless. Medium light, showing some complexity. There might be an upswing potential.

Perman Red Burgundy night (Zoom-Perman Wines, Chicago IL) : The nose is uplifted and perfumed with a delicate nature to the tones of strawberries, red cherries, rose petals, fresh picked berries, spice notes, crushed rocks, and some hints of earth. The Medium bodied feel has a lighter touch with crisp, medium+ acidity and silky, medium tannins. This is lovely and understated. In other words, classic Pataille as this is extremely elegant and the kind of Pinot Noir that can only …

On opening, worryingly petillant, and tasted completely off. Decanted, and massively improved. Actually quite fruity, but still a bit of unexpected tannin.

2015 vintage

while a nice wine, this vintage doesn't hang with the 16 & 17 vintages. Many of the same characteristics, but comparatively its nose and length are stunted.

2015 vintage

Starts out very vegetal and leafy in an unpleasant way, a little funky - I believe Sylvain does 100% whole cluster on this cuvee. I ended up decanting this and luckily the funk blew off. Pretty sappy, stemmy, dark red Marsannay fruit with a slight crunch. The best part was the last 1/4 of the carafe. Went well with roast chicken.

2015 vintage

Showing better than the bottle I had last year as the stems, etc. have integrated nicely. Flavor is dominated by a pure, somewhat dark cherry note and there is a also a little spice. Drinking well.

2015 vintage

Light crimson to ruby. Vivid aromas of ripe red plum, black and red cherry, sous Bois and spice. An elegant wine soft and approachable on the entry with breadth to the mid-palate supported with a surprisingly strident acidity and a plum skin texture. Firm savoury lined tannins give shape to the palate keeping the palate's fatness and flesh under control. There is plenty of fruit with Bing cherry paste, red plum coulis, and even wine gums as the palate opens …

2015 vintage

Much press and nice vineyard care. But this 2015, while pleasant at a restaurant, was both petillant ( not clean) and tasted too 2015 and hence less terroir specific. Large dark cherry helpings in a rustic stew with some black pepper notes. Very dark red and more corpulent than most Marsannay.

拉肚。稀，酸，回味微苦。水果像bojo。两周后再尝，好一些。还是想bbojo。

Becky Wasserman & Co: Icons & Rising Stars of Burgundy (E&R Wine Shop, Portland OR) : Some more odd funk here. Stony soil and grasslike notes. Smells a bit moldy and off putting. Better palate, on a round palate texture, offering ripe and rich fruits, some light bitterness, and a puckering sensation. Still feels fairly flat on the palate. Bitter mold shows up on the finish, and brings along with it its friend bitter funk.

2015 vintage

Required a bit of a swirl to get the slight fizz of the palate but post that it was straight to the point, soft, good ripeness , very welcoming and enjoyable wine. Not the most deep or complex but in no way simple. Nice soft red and quite versatile. 89

2015 vintage

Nice fruits here with a light and balanced flavor profile. Unfortunately this is way overpriced in the marketplace.

2015 vintage

A beautiful wine. Nice fruit, slightly tannic and acidic. Red berrier with earthy tones. Slightly, slightly carbonated.

2015 vintage

Darker ruby color. First pretty open, notes of dark raspberries, red berries, also some plum, violets and some spices. Constantly changing in the glass... unfortunately not for the better. It‘s medium+ bodied, tastes like there were quite some stems too, has medium-high acidity and medium+ tannin that is good. The problem I am having is that there seems to be quite some volatile acidity that kind of kills the joy factor...especially in combination with the stems. I am still waiting …

2015 vintage

Needs some time for the stems/wood to integrate further, but this is a lovely wine in the making. Good value in the context of Burgundy.
