Quite 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.
The deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Fleur Cardinale (composed of 74% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon) offers up bold scents of Christmas cake, fried Indian spices, dried mulberries and preserved plums with nuances of balsamic, mocha and lavender. Full-bodied, rich and firmly textured with grainy tannins, it has loads of savory layers and great length.
