Note di degustazione
Aromas of sweet cherries, licorice, spices and plums preface the 2020 La Patache, a medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy Pomerol that's supple and seamless in style. It will drink well young.

A charming, up-front, mouth-filling Pomerol, the 2020 Château La Patache comes from a tiny 2.5-hectare vineyard and is 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc that was aged 20 months in new barrels. It's a medium-bodied, complex, nuanced Pomerol that shines for its balance and complexity more than power and richness. Strawberries, raspberries, flowers, and sappy, minty herbs notes define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied, with silky tannins and a good spine of acidity. This pretty, nuanced, silky Pomerol will keep for 10-12 years.
The 2020 La Patache has an understated nose that demands encouragement from the glass; blackberry, ash and light truffle scents gradually unfold with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a slight lactic texture on the entry, quite spicy although I find that oak does impede towards the finish and detracts from its potential. I'd like to retaste this in a couple of years.
The 2020 La Patache is a heady, boisterous wine. It offers up copious dark cherry/raspberry jam, spice, mocha, pomegranate and blood orange. Soft, silky contours give this sumptuous Pomerol tons of immediacy and sheer appeal.
