Love the wines of Sylvain Pataille. I like it back when he wasn’t that well known. Becoming harder to source and much more expensive. Earthy, red fruit, little spice, med+ acidity. Still a great value. — 14 days ago

8.5

For me, this was more Sherry like than “sweet.” Dried fruit and nuts with just a hint of sweetness but that is in the background. Excellent as a digestif. — 14 days ago
