Chateau La Cardonne - 2016 - Chateau La Cardonne - 750 ml.

This 2016 Chateau La Cardonne is a full-bodied, robust red wine from the Médoc region of Bordeaux, France. It is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc grapes, aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. The nose is full of ripe blackberry and cassis aromas, with hints of tobacco and cedar. On the palate, the wine is smooth and velvety, with a balanced acidity and a long, lingering finish. The tannins are well-integrated, giving the wine a pleasant structure. The flavors are complex, with notes of dark fruits, licorice, and a hint of spice. This is a great wine to pair with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses. Enjoy it now or cellar it for a few years to let the flavors develop further.
