Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 31 May 22
The 2020 Fixin Les Crais has a fresh and pure bouquet with dark cherries and crushed violets, quite Marsannay-like in style. The palate is armed with candied red fruit tinged with liquorice, quite powerful and burly in style, though that will calm down with bottle age. Cellar for 3-4 years if you can.
Drinking Date: 2024 - 2034
