Saint Emilion Brand Cru, Bordeaux Blend with Majority of Merlot, complete with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Aged 18 months in oak barrels, Palis Cardinal offers attractive black fruit and incense on the well-defined bouquet. The palate is medium with a little oak on the entry, though it has attractive supple texture, well-judged acidity and silky-smooth finish.
