Tasting note
Château Patris' 2018 Querre should offer Merlot aromas of black cherry, ripe plum and violet, with a soft earthy undertone. Saint-Émilion fruit is expected to fill the palate with a supple feel, rounded tannins smoothing the edges and acidity keeping the dark flavors defined. Its peak years end in 2033, and the broader drinking window reaches 2039. Plum skin and savory spice should remain after the fruit, finishing with quiet earthiness.
