Chateau Fleur Cardinale, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France 2016 La Craie The palate shows high-toned redQuite earthy and savory on the nose, the fruit only emerging slowly. However, on the palate, this has a very attractive fleshy quality and a moderately dry, long finish of some real sophistication. Easy to drink now, but will hold. A blend of 74 per cent merlot, 18 per cent cabernet franc and eight per cent cabernet sauvignon. 94 Pts James Suckling
