A discreet application of wood sets off the more deeply pitched aromas of various dark berries, earth and soft humus nuances. Here too there is a lovely sense of energy to the intense and mineral-suffused flavors that offer sneaky good length if only average depth. This too should drink well young.
Vinous - Score: 90(2019 Jun.)
The 2016 Fixin has a fresh and lively bouquet with earthy red berry fruit mixed with blood orange and a touch of pressed flowers. The palate is well balanced with a fleshy opening, nicely judged acidity with (again), blood orange and a pinch of Moroccan spice towards the lithe finish. You will find few better Fixin Village than this. Tasted at Flint Wines' Value Burgundy tasting.
