Albert Bichot Fixin Clos de la Perrière 1er Cru 2017

Red
Fixin, France
6.7
WineSaint

Compressed and linear, with cherry and blackberry fruit that feels muted for the site. The structure is there. Medium body with decent tannins. But the wine lacks the personality and depth this premier cru should deliver. The finish pinches rather than expands, suggesting it may come together with time, though it's hard to be optimistic.
