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.

Château Marsau 2005 Red (Bordeaux Côtes de Francs )
Big, dense and superripe. Despite this ripeness and the high alcohol, the fruit is fresh. There is spice from the new wood, while the tannins are dry and taut, needing time to soften.

Château Franc-Cardinal 2006 Red (Bordeaux Côtes de Francs )
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 2007 Red (Bordeaux Côtes de Francs )
Soft red fruits, with tannins that give a firm core. The wine is pierced through with acidity, touched with strawberry jam. In keeping with the vintage, the wine is light, acidity surging on the finish.

Château Pimpine 2005 Red (Bordeaux Côtes de Francs )
A curious, dirty nose doesn’t help this wine. The palate is certainly better, its fruit now mature, smooth, the acidity blending with attractive smoky flavors.
