Château Haut Cardinal – Cuvée Unique – 2012
Saint Emilion
, Grand Cru
France,
Bordeaux,
Medium deep garnet core with a mature ruby hue. Pure, intense, complex, and captivating nose offering sweet red fruit, chalk, truffle, fine toast, and dry spice notes like liquorice, clove, and ginger. The palate combines high density and concentration with a rounded texture, grainy towards powdery tannins giving lift and volume, a rather Burgundian texture, sweet wild berry flavours, yet remaining dry with a good notion of freshness and long, complex finish. Perfect maturity and drinkability.
