Château Fleur Cardinale
Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend
Nose of black fruit, sweet pipe tobacco, and purple flowers. Sweet black fruit, tobacco, and medium, well integrated tannins on the palate. Long finish. An earlier drinking style, but could also age for many years.
Decanted 3 hours.

Soooooooooperrrrrb! Wow for the money this is great. Classic but also intense. Long finish to die for. On the nose, cassis, honey, savory notes of oregano, sage and eucalyptus. Cedar and sandalwood. The palate a delish explosion of savory notes. This is Merlot and Cabernet Franc dominant, salt and briny green olives, tons of acid and more olive tapenade. This is a big one but super balanced out. 14.5%

Jul 18th, 2022Delicious. Just the right amount of bitter, clean, with the alcohol on the back end. The dusty gravel that you want from a Bordeaux. I’d drink a bottle of it.

Mar 26th, 2022Wonderfully delicious, but not as forward as anticipated. Fruity, not woody, but very mature fruits. Definitely wood buy again and worth the price!

Dec 30th, 20212016 vintage. World-class nose of panini sando bread/grilled pain au levain, lavender, molasses, bruised plum and wine-country kitchen. Dark as a moonless night. Medium-heavy/heavy body with a brooding, hide-and-seek, mid-palate presence. Slightly spicy finish. Needs a half-decade to come grooving up slowly. Steel yourself to treat this with more patience than most but not as much as some. If opening soon, decant for at least two hours.
