Tasting Note:
Le Bordeaux du Cardinal 2022 captures the generosity and confidence of a superb Bordeaux vintage, delivering a ripe, deeply satisfying fruit core wrapped in ultra-smooth structure. The nose opens with smoky oak, dark plum and black cherry, followed by tempting notes of cocoa, chocolate and warm spice. On the palate, it is exceptionally smooth and supple, with Merlot bringing plush roundness and Cabernet adding lift, shape and gentle grip. The fruit is ripe without heaviness, the oak beautifully integrated, and the finish glides with effortless charm. This is Bordeaux with almost criminal levels of drinkability: generous, polished and immediately appealing, yet intense and serious enough for a little longer time in your cellar to realise its peak potential. Perfect with roast beef, lamb cutlets, chargrilled vegetables, mushroom dishes or a classic cheeseboard.
