Albert Bichot Fixin Clos de la Perrière Premier Cru Monopole 2020

95 Decanter
The nose has quite a creamy veneer of oak over the ripe red-black fruit and some charming floral touches. The attack is juicy and rich with red berries, sour cherry, plum, hints of leather, and game. Finishes with a concentration of tannin and body seldom seen in Fixin.

93 Wine Spectator
A classy red, with supple cherry, strawberry, floral and mineral flavors underscored by a deft touch of new oak. Balanced, with the refined structure exerting itself as this winds down on the lingering, spicy finish. Impressively elegant.

There is enough reduction present to push the underlying fruit to the background. Otherwise, there is both good vibrancy and freshness to the tautly muscular middle weight flavors that also flash good minerality on the slightly more austere finale. At least some patience advised.Barrel Sample: 89-92
