2009 Château Fleur Cardinale – France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru (3/9/2012)
Bordeaux made in Chateauneuf or Napa Valley? Well, it’s mostly Merlot, so more Napa than CDP… It is well balanced, but has 15% alcohol (at least) and could’ve been made almost anywhere. It is tasty, the tannins are sweet, everything is in balance, it is very fruit-driven, but this wine has little sense of place. But who cares? It is plain delicious. A lot of juice for your money, but don’t expect a classical claret. (93 points)
