Château Fleur Cardinale 2019
Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classé
95-96/100 James Suckling
Cellar for a few years. Can keep and evolve for decades.
May 6, 2020: "This is a wine that has a broad brush of tannins that give energy and subtle texture to the palate. Beautiful blue fruit and earthiness. Very fine tannins. Nice sweet fruit on the finish. One of the best I've had from here. I really want to drink it. 76% merlot, 20% cabernet franc and 4% cabernet sauvignon." J.S.
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".
