My last bottle and age your Fichots! Please! This is glorious. 19 is close to 12 in spirit I think. What a nose. Ebullient, expressive and pure. Black raspberry and black cherry with a spicey earthy note. Floral and underbrush but clear. Just gorgeous and will only get better with air. Air and Fichots work well together. Ahh, the classic Fichots structure. Stoney, straight and long. Always needs an hour to open at any age but the length, balance and wow that length are there. Incredible fruit amplitude and volume. Sappy and pure. Wonderful finesse has arrived after some air. Just a beautiful wine and one of the best values of red burgundy I’ve ever encountered. It’s great every year but some years like 12/19 are better than other. Also 14.

Jun 2nd, 2021Gorgeous pure almost fourrier like nose. Red fruits, cherries, herbal, sweet, mineral, damp flowers, dank and feral. Palate is classic Fichots. Dense, structured and pure with big tannins and structure. Needs 2 hours or 2-3 more years. Long. Impressive extract and sap. Very pure and dense yet so silky. Excellent.

Jun 9th, 2018Big, intense, earthy, leafy, mossy and brambly red fruits on the nose. Terrific texture with great 2012 ripeness and volume. A bit closed but juicy with terrific length and accentuated by a nice spice. Very juicy. Very long. Acidity is pitch perfect. Freshness and lovely persistence. Big structure as always with Fichots suggests 10-15 years of life.
