Andrew Jefford: Deep black-red. Elegant, soft, and fragrant, and complex, too: a truly super nose for a 2012 St-Emilion. Aromatically, up to the top of the class. Supple fruits, soft flowers: magnificent grace and finesse. On the palate, this is a poised, mid-weight wine with splendid grace, finesse, softness, and sumptuousness. A major achievement for Fleur Cardinale: This wine’s allusiveness, layered qualities, aromatic grace and finesse, and tannic frame are outstanding: bravo! 2018–28. 92
