2016 Fixin Premier Cru Clos du Chapitre

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2016 Fixin 1er Cru Clos du Chapitre was very tight on the nose and needed more encouragement in the glass compared to the village cru. The palate is medium-bodied, rounded in texture, plump in the mouth with mulberry and dark plum toward the finish. Quite sensual for a Fixin, this is a well-crafted Fixin that will benefit from a couple of years in bottle. - Neil Martin, Dez. 2017

Allen Meadows' Burghound: An unusually spicy nose offers up a pretty and layered blend of plum, dark cherry and plenty of warm earth character that continues onto the rich and relatively full-bodied flavors that also display both good depth and length on the firm and balanced finish that exhibit only a trace of rusticity. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2018

Vinous: close to 14% alcohol): Bright ruby-red. Very ripe aromas of blackberry, blueberry and chocolate. Dense, thick wine with strong soil tones and a saline high-pH character, with primary fruit in the background today. An ultraripe version of this vineyard but still maintains adequate acidity and finishes with a firm tannic spine. - Stephen Tanzer, Jan. 2018
