Nascent strawberry delicacy on the nose, but something a bit tart and mouldy on the palate – a strawberry on the turn? (AH)

(like the Marsannay, this was scheduled to be racked into tank in December and bottled early): Good deep red. Expressive aromas of redcurrant, iron and spicy, smoky underbrush. At once rich and vinous, displaying good lift and sap to its red fruit and saline flavors. The dusty tannins are sweeter and suaver than past vintages. Mortet has a new calcaire -rich parcel on the south side of the appellation which he believes is giving this wine more elegance.
The 2013 Fixin Vieilles Vignes is a blend of two parcels on the limit with Brochon and raised in 20% new oak. The bouquet is not a million miles away from the Marsannay with that fresh mint notes infusing the dark cherry and cassis fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with redder fruit than the Marsannay, although it does not quite deliver the same structure and freshness toward the finish. Arnaud has a soft spot for his Fixin as he likes the structure. I know where he is coming from (although I had already "eloped" with his Marsannay.)
