The 2014 Pàtrimo has all its cards in place, but delivers them in a slightly more subdued and underhanded style. This vintage does not portray the exuberance and the depth that you get with this wine in 2010 or 2013. Instead, it offers a steady flow of dark fruit flavors with spice, leather, smoked bacon and dark chocolate. There are pretty notes of ash or dark mineral at the back. The mouthfeel does a good job of capturing the soft and velvety side of Merlot. The wine needs a few more years of bottle aging in order to achieve a more profound sense of integration and complexity.
