2021 Domaine Sylvain Pataille Marsannay L'Ancestrale [D95][V91-93] Tuscan Red Blend fruit-expressive finishProducer: Domaine Sylvain Pataille Region: Marsannay, Cote de Nuits, Burgundy, France Varietal: Pinot Noir Year: 2020 Decanter, 95 Points "Lovely, expressive blackberry fruit is the first thing you smell, but not the last, with nuances of spice, earth, menthol, and smoke on the nose. The flavours continue to deepen on the palate, and there is a subtle, silky texture that is not jarring but impresses gradually with its near perfect balance and length.
