Good depth on the nose, with ripe dark cherries, currants, berries and touches of dark chocolate and fine spices. Fine, precise tannins surround the palate, with a medium to full body and a polished, lasting finish. Quite velvety. Already delicious, but can hold well for the next decade. Drink or hold.

Varietal Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

The 2023 Fleur Cardinale is rich and ample in the glass, but not at all overdone. Dark-toned fruit, new leather, incense, tobacco, chocolate and lifted floral overtones all meld together. The 2023 builds nicely over time, showing notable charm and tons of class.

Black cherries, spicy wood, graphite, and chalky minerality all define the 2023 Château Fleur Cardinale, an incredibly classy Saint-Emilion based on 58% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Franc, and 9% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in a mix of new oak barrels (45%), second-fill barrels, 500-liter barrels, foudres, and amphorae, it's deep purple-hued and incredibly complete, with medium-bodied richness, a great mid-palate, and flawless balance. It's absolutely terrific and will have 20-25 years of longevity. Drink 2026-2051.

92-93 2023 Fleur Cardinale has pure and candy like, sweet fruit. It is a very fresh wine with a long and enduring taste of ripe, fresh fruit and an elegant, refined backbone. The freshness on the aftertaste is excellent and you almost don’t feel the tannins. This is a very good effort from Fleur Cardinale.

Plum paste and cherry preserves are layered together, with a snap of red licorice and a spine of gently singed apple wood on the finish. Nicely rendered. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2027 through 2037. 6,400 cases made.
