Rødvin - 75cl. Leveres i originale trækasser á 12 flasker
VINBESKRIVELSE:
Fleur Cardinale er beliggende i den nordøstlige del af St.-Émilion, nær Cotes de Castillon. Slottets vinhistorie går tilbage til 1700-tallet, men med familierne Asseo (1982-2001) og Decoster (2001-nu) er Fleur-Cardinale for alvor trådt i karakter. Decoster-familien opførete allerede i 2002 en splinterny fadkælder (chai), og har ikke set sig tilbage siden. Konsulent er naboen, Jean-Luc Thunevin (Valandraud). Investeringerne er betalt tilbage med flotte ratings, og i siden 2006 har Fleur Cardinale haft status af Grand Cru Classé.

RATINGS:
89-91 point PARKER, der skriver:
"The wine, a final blend of 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, produced just over 4,000 cases, which is almost half the winery's normal production. Their brilliant duo of consultants was Jean-Luc Thunevin and Michel Rolland-s assistant Jean-Philippe Fort. Natural alcohol comes in at 13.5% and the wine is soft, round, opulent and elegant with sweet blackcurrant and black raspberry fruit, a hint of cherries, dusty, loamy soil undertones, tobacco leaf, licorice and a touch of background oak. It is medium-bodied, very attractive and can be drunk early on or cellared for 7-10 years. This is, once again, a sleeper of the vintage."
