Expert Reviews
Composed of 77% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, with an alcohol of 14.5% and a pH of 3.57, the deep purple-black colored 2020 Fleur Cardinale bursts from the glass with powerful notes of crushed blackberries, stewed black plums and Morello cherries, plus suggestions of star anise, pencil shavings and black truffles. The medium to full-bodied palate is chock-full of softly textured, juicy black fruits, countered by fantastic tension, finishing with great length and loads of earthy layers.
Smooth tannins with elegance, albeit a "modern sheen" of vanilla bean and chocolate as well as red and blackberry fruit purity, plum jelly and spice. I admire the mid-palate sap and juiciness, leading to minty freshness on the long finish. Low pH below 3.6, lends needed freshness. Tasted just before bottling. Try with grilled chipolatas (spicy pork sausage), as should be delicious from out of the gate.
