"The 2022 La Paterne is succulent and welcoming, with ripe, youthful, crunchy redcurrant and raspberry fruit flavors—no oak here. It's refreshing, with a belt of mouthwatering acidity that tightens everything up on the finish. There's a fine clay slip-like quality to the tannins that are gentle and textural. It's harmonious and together and should be enjoyed from late 2024 onwards."
