Chateau La Cardonne Medoc, France 2016 I Collazzi On the nose: black pepperThe 2016 La Cardonne has a lively bouquet with red and black fruit, cedar and light mint aromas, quite Pauillac in style. The palate is medium bodied with supple tannin, vibrant and quite precise with well judged oak towards the persistent finish. Looking for a Cru Bourgeois in the Mdoc? Look no further. Superb. Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois tasting in London. 91 Pts Neal Martin, Vinous
