Note di degustazione
Winemaker Santiago Achaval has made a fabulous 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Cardinal, which is 100% varietal and spent two and a half years in new French oak. This medium to full-bodied, impeccably balanced beauty offers classic notes of creme de cassis, toasted bread, spice and dried flowers to go with ultra-fine tannin, beautiful purity and a great finish. It's not a heavyweight and stays light and elegant on the palate. It's a beauty to drink over the coming decade or more.

Dark purple. Explosive aromas of dark berry preserves, vanilla, incense and pipe tobacco, accompanied by a smoky overtone and intense minerality. Pliant and seamless on the palate, offering intense, palate-staining cassis and bitter cherry flavors that are energized by juicy acidity. Becomes weightier and sweeter with air, with no loss of vibrancy. Shows excellent power and focus on the relentless, spice-tinged finish, which features harmonious tannins and a touch of candied rose.
