"The 2024 Fixin Les Crais includes 40% whole cluster this year. This is quite lifted on the nose, the stems imparting a subtle "coolness," a light marine/briny scent that is tucked behind the red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, crisp acidity, quite peppery due to the stem influence, though it is proportional to the level of fruit. Good length; this is a well-crafted Fixin that should age well in bottle."
