It was aged for 18 months in second-use French oak and comes in at 12.7% alcohol. This is hardly a big, blockbuster-style wine with super-ripe fruit and lots of concentration. That's not really the grape or the region, and Pato tends to make a rather rened version. This sure does show you, though, what the dierence is between this and something like the Post-Quercus or the D.N.M.C. reds also reviewed in this report. Here, there is more stung, for starters. It is not only fresh, silky, elegant and lively, but here there is also some tension on the nish. It coats the palate respectably, too, while the mid-palate nicely counters the acidity and ripe tannins.\r\nThere's more tannic pop on the nish, though—a real backbone that will serve this in good stead as it ages. Baga does age well and this should, too, but it is made in a more approachable, less rustic style. If you want to drink this now you could, but that would be a bad mistake, as it is still a little disjointed. With a few years, it should become more harmonious and more interesting. There is no rush. It should hold at least for 20\r\nyears from the vintage date, probably more.
