Fleur Cardinale Saint Emilion 2005 070226ROBUST Now more than a decadeNow twenty years old, this 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon blend showcases why the 2005 vintage was a watershed year for Bordeaux. The wine remains vibrant with youthful ruby hue, delivering succulent red cherry, red plum, mint, blood orange, mocha, and espresso. A plush, round, silky mouthfeel combined with complex notes of leafy herbs, leather, and limestone minerality shows this Grand Cru Class drinking beautifully now.
