Château Palais Cardinal Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2018

A blend of Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon/Cabernet Franc, owned by Michel Balande, consulted by Thomas Declos. Critic tasting note: "On the plain of Saint-Emilion, this vineyard has produced a richly dense wine that also shows restraint and elegant tannins. The dominance of Merlot gives the bold black fruits and acidity. Wood aging adds spice and smoothness to the texture. This wine will be ready from 2024. Roger Voss" - 92/100, Wine Enthusiast
