Château Franc-Cardinal 2005 Red (Bordeaux Côtes de Francs )
- Online Exclusive
- $18
Dark colored wine, with ripe black plum flavors that lie over solidly textured tannins. Structured to bring out the fruit, the wine also has a core of wood, spice, dark cocoa and black currant acidity to finish. An attractive wine that is worth aging for another two years.

With the few years of bottle age, the wine is showing ripe fruits, the tannins well integrated. The combination of juicy acidity and ripe fruit, with the dry core, are bringing the development of the wine on well.

Château Franc-Cardinal 2008 Red (Côtes de Bordeaux Francs)
Red fruit aromas precede good acidity and smoky flavors. The tannins certainly give dryness, but the dominant character is bright fruits layered with acidity. The aftertaste gives dryness and fruit.
