Note di degustazione
A more subdued vintage in St Emilion than in some parts of Bordeaux, notably the northern Médoc, and yet this is still a confident and highly enjoyable wine. Still tightly wound even at nine years old, but there is no need to wait to begin enjoying the smoky, cocoa bean, brioche and espresso-edged cassis fruits. Just give it a few hours in a carafe to allow the aromatics to really open up.

The 2014 Fleur Cardinale is located in Saint-Etienne-de-Lisse, the vines populating the lieu-dit of Thibaud. it has a powerful, rich and decadent bouquet bestowed with licorice and boysenberry jam. The palate is medium-bodied with muscular tannin, good depth, fine acidity with a structured and quite spicy finish that replicates the showing from barrel. Enjoy this over the next 8-10 years.
Fantastic aromas of crushed berries, lavender and blueberries. Full-bodied, dense and layered yet always polished and beautiful. Really impressive.
The 2014 Fleur Cardinale is a dark, sumptuous wine. Dark cherry, plum, rose petal, licorice and sweet spices are all pushed forward. Extravagantly ripe and flamboyant, the 2014 hits all the right notes. As always, Fleur Cardinale shows the more overt, opulent side of Saint-Émilion, and yet all the elements are beautifully balanced. (AG)
