Château Patache d'Aux 2004 Red (Médoc)
Named after the coaching stage (Patache d’Aux) which was part of the château, this property is looking good, after investment. The 2004 has good ripe fruits, a very open, polished wine, with intense blackberry and spice flavors.

Château Patache d'Aux 2005 Red (Médoc)
- Online Exclusive
Densely rich and tannic for a Médoc, this has firm structure over ripe, black fruits and herbal flavors. This will be one for aging, with its solid dry base of firm fruits and hints of stalkiness.

Château Patache d'Aux 2008 Red (Médoc)
- $19
Although initially austere, the wine opens up to give firm, dry tannins and black berry juice fruits, balanced with tobacco. It is restrained at this stage, the fruit not quite bursting into life. Wait for 2–3 years.

Château Patache d'Aux 2009 Red (Médoc)
- $20
Densely tannic, this is a wine that shows some initial austerity, although the black currant fruit and toasty wood then comes through. With its structure and chewy texture, it is always likely to be a firm wine.

Château Patache d'Aux 2006 Cuvée Flora Red (Médoc)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
A wood-laden bottling, produced from a selection of wines at Patache d’Aux. If the wood weren’t currently so dominant, the blackberry fruits would have more of a chance. It obviously needs a year or two to smooth out and come into balance.

Château Patache d'Aux 2006 Red (Médoc)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
Firm, tense and dryly tannic, this is a solid wine, foursquare, its edges a little rough at present. The berry fruits are black, spicy from wood, creating a rich feel. In the end, black currant acidity and freshness finish the wine with a lift.

Château Patache d'Aux 2003 Red (Médoc)
- $24
A soft wine that has easy but attractively ripe fruit. This is not a wine for aging, but in 2003, the estate has made a very drinkable wine. Patache stands for an ancient coaching inn, recollected on the wine’s label by a coach and horses. Imported by Grands Chais de France.

Château Patache d'Aux 2007 Red (Médoc)
- $19
A wine that is perfumed with new wood. The fruit has the freshness of 2007, high acids, cranberry juice, not weighty. Needs to age for another year.
