Château Fleur Cardinale 1994 in Magnum
Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classé
The winegrower tells you about it:
"His robe is deep and dense. The pleasure continues on the nose, where an intense aromatic palette is revealed, with ripe fruit, sprinkled with floral and spicy notes. On the palate, the cru charms with its balance and generous substance, backed by noble and silky tannins. The finish is long and aromatic. In short, its personality is surprising, so much it knows how to be both powerful and elegant".
