Château Franc - Cardinal 2003

Cotes de Francs, Cotes de Bordeaux, Bordeaux, FranceResiny, smoky, cedar bark, olive nose with barnyard, sweaty saddle leather and cherry notes. Much better on the palate with round, supple ripe tannins and earthy, peppery, spicy, black cherry fruit. Tobacco and licorice root flavours round out its rustic, warm finish. Well balanced.Tasted: 08 April 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
