2020 Fixin La Place, Domaine Jean Tardy & Fils

The 2020 Fixin La Place, which will have around one-third new oak, has a well-defined bouquet with black cherries and bilberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, quite fleshy and ripe with fine acidity. Lots of red fruit here, quite elegant with fine tension. I almost think that the new oak is going to be superfluous...we will see.
