Tim Atkin 93/100
Subtle layers of citrus and stone fruit aromas, and whiffs of angelica, acacia flower and allspice. Light to medium bodied, with a smooth, fleshy texture and vibrant, integrated acidity.
Tim Atkin MW SA Report 2021:
"Patina comes from a 1.6- hectare parcel planted on schist soils in 1996. Partially fermented on skins, it has good grip, taut acidity and layers of pear, green apple and beeswax. Concrete eggs add some focus to the vanilla oak spice. 2021-25"
