Pierre Damoy, Fixin Mogottes Vintage:2018 Lean and vigorous

Lean and vigorous

with strong dark berry and cherry compote flavors and an exotic floral quality that gains strength with air

This is bigger and more concentrated than the regular cuvée with exceptionally good richness on the naturally sweet medium full-bodied flavors that are utterly seductive

more in line with how I thought it would turn out from barrel than when I first tasted it from bottle last year

Plus this wine always ages well and the 2019 version should be no exception

Pierre Damoy, Fixin Mogottes Vintage:2018 Lean and vigorousHere too there is little more on the nose than reduction and toasty wood. Otherwise there is a bit more refinement to the attractively textured and more mineral inflected medium weight flavors that offer reasonably good length on the youthfully austere finish. This is not elegant but its interesting in its fashion. (87 90) 2024+
