Château Fleur Cardinale Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé 2022 i trækasse

<p><strong><span style="font-size: 14px;">Om Château Fleur Cardinale</span></strong></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong><em>Beliggenhed: </em></strong><em>St-Èmilion </em><em><br /><strong>Beplantet areal: </strong>22<strong> </strong>ha <br /><strong>Plantede druesorter: </strong>76% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc og 4 % Cabernet Sauvignon. <br /><strong>Fadmodning: </strong>12-14 mdr. 100 % nye barriquefade</em></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><em>”For sure this is an estate to watch” – <strong>Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux</strong><br /></em><em><br /></em>Fleur Cardinale flyver til tops i årgang 2022 med helt vilde anmeldelser. Jeb Dunnuck spekulerer sågar i, at den nye årgang kan gå hen og overgå den forrygende 2016-ugave. Det er bare en ud af mange indikationer på, at vi har at gøre med en helt fantastisk 2022 årgang i Bordeaux og det kan vise sig at blive en særdeles god investering at købe En Primeur lige netop i år. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;">Fleur Cardinale er beliggende i den nordøstlige del af St.-Émilion, nær Cotes de Castillon. Slottets vinhistorie går tilbage til 1700-tallet, men med familierne Asseo (1982-2001) og Decoster (2001-nu) er Fleur-Cardinale for alvor trådt i karakter. Decoster-familien opførete allerede i 2002 en splinterny fadkælder (chai), og har ikke set sig tilbage siden. Konsulent er naboen, Jean-Luc Thunevin (Valandraud). Investeringerne er betalt tilbage med flotte ratings, og i siden 2006 har Fleur Cardinale haft status af Grand Cru Classé.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Anmeldelser af Chateau Fleur Cardinale Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classe 2022</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>95-96/100 James Suckling</em></strong><strong><em><br /></em></strong></span><em>Plenty of ripe berry and currant character with some freshly cut black cherries. Hints of chocolate. Medium body with firm tannins and a flavorful finish. Yet all in reserve. Crunchy.</em></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: 14px;"><strong><em>95-96/100 Terres de Vins</em></strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>94-96/100 The Wine Cellar Insider</em></strong></span><strong><em><br /></em></strong><em>Dark in color, the wine is rich, concentrated, dense, lush, and packed with toasty oak, black plums, licorice, and espresso. Sweet, long, and round, with a chocolate covered black cherry filled finish. The blend is 65% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. All that extra Cabernet really makes a difference adding more freshness, complexity, and individuality. Drink from 2025-2042.</em></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: 14px;"><strong><em>95-96/100 Bettane &amp; Desseauve</em></strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>94-96/100 Jeb Dunnuck</em></strong></span><strong><em><br /></em></strong><em>One of the finest vintages to date for this estate, possibly eclipsing the 2016, the 2022 Château Fleur Cardinale offers a medium to full-bodied, seamless, incredibly elegant and balanced profile that brings beautiful richness in its ripe black raspberry and cassis fruits as well as some spicy, floral, and herbal nuances. Balanced and nicely concentrated, with ripe tannins, it does everything right in the vintage. (Tasted two times.)</em></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>94/100 Jane Anson</em></strong><strong><em><br /></em></strong></span><em>These guys know how to combine intensity and lift, and here they capture the exuberance and exoticism of the spice and fruit character of 2022 wiyhout going overboard. This is big but has enjoyable floral character and chalky tannins, needs some time in bottle to soften, but there is juice and punch.</em></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>94/100 Decanter</em></strong><strong><em><br /></em></strong></span><em>Full and concentrated in the mouth, beautifully intense blackcurrant and black cherry fruit with quite impressive and imposing tannins that coat the mouth though with cool blue fruits and wet stones giving freshness and minerality. Nie sense of style, a little compact right now, but there's a juicy centre and the tannins have a lovely texture. Will be nicely filling and enjoyable when ready, still with clean edges and very precise sculpting. Harvest 19-30 September. Yield of 38hl/ha. 3.68pH. Ageing for 12-14 months in French oak, 72% new<strong>.</strong></em></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>93-95/100 The Wine Independent</em></strong><strong><em><br /></em></strong></span><em>The 2022 Fleur Cardinale is a blend of 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple in color, it gallops out with energetic notes of stewed black plums, kirsch, and blackberry pie, followed by wafts of violets, dark chocolate, and star anise. The full-bodied palate is concentrated, packed with black fruit preserves, and framed by ripe, rounded tannins, finishing long and with just enough freshness.</em></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>93-94/100 Alexandre Ma</em></strong></span><strong><em><br /></em></strong><em>The 2022 vintage of Château Fleur Cardinale embodies a combination of plumpness and elegance. The distinct aromas of dark plums and blackberries, along with meticulously crafted baking spices such as star anise and cumin, are intoxicating. Unlike its usual robust structure, this vintage reveals a delicate and sweet demeanor upon the first sip. The high proportion of clay-limestone soil provides firm tannins that gradually emerge on the finish, making it an excellent wine that is infectiously appealing whether young or aged.</em></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: 14px;"><strong><em>92-93/100 La Revue du Vin de France</em></strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>90-92/100 Antonio Galloni</em></strong></span><strong><em><br /></em></strong><em>The 2022 Fleur Cardinale is soft, open and forthcoming. Dark fruit, chocolate, sweet spice, leather and licorice all open nicely. There's good depth but less in the way of energy or excitement. All the elements are very well balanced. Perhaps I caught this on a quiet day. Tasted two times. Drinking window : 2027-2037</em></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>90-92/100 Neal Martin</em></strong></span><em><br />The 2022 Fleur Cardinale has an opulent bouquet with kirsch, blackcurrant and cedar scents. Blue fruit emerges with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet, slightly candied entry, dry tannins and an earthy finish. Like some other Saint-Émilion wines this year, it needs more brightness and, perhaps perversely, is missing the charm of the previous vintage.</em></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><em>Ved køb af 6 flasker leveres vinen i original trækasse.</em></span></p>
