The 2019 Fixin Village had been racked into tank. Quite precocious on the nose, it offers vibrant blueberry and black cherry fruit that is quintessentially Fixin. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins, plenty of candied red fruit and a judicious dab of white pepper toward the finish. A flavor-packed Fixin that will be difficult to resist in its youth.

The 2019 Fixin (Méo-Camuzet Frère & Soeurs) is promising, delivering scents of wild berries, coniferous forest floor and peonies. Medium to full-bodied, bright and lively, it's nicely balanced, with powdery tannins and a mineral finish.
