2003 vintage:
comments by J.P RENARD tasting trainer at the BIVB.
As with most wines of this vintage, this Fixin is endowed with a dark colour with hints of deep purple. Its nose of very ripe and candied fruits, a sign of great maturity, opens progressively. Its ample and rounded palate is dominated by tannins that are still firm and which should become softer fairly quickly (2 to 3 years). Goes well with red meat!

2002 vintage:
comments by J.P RENARD tasting trainer at the BIVB.
“With its sustained ruby red robe and an exuberant nose of red fruits (strawberry, blackcurrant, raspberry, etc.), this Fixin, both elegant and complex, is a treat for the senses. Its ample and balanced palate retains a notable freshness which enables it to develop under the best conditions. A wine of great quality that goes well with leg of lamb or roast meat.”
