Fleur Cardinale - 2010 (750ml) Grenache to recreate the glories ofDense ruby purple, it tips the scales at 15% natural alcohol and was bottled unfined and unfiltered. Full bodied in texture, it offers up loads of blueberry, blackberry and raspberry fruit intermixed with some cedar, vanilla and a touch of spring flowers. Impressively built, with good acidity and light tannin, this is a superb example of wine that reaches its prime in 3 or 4 years and lasts two decades. Its right up there with their brilliant 2005.
