Jane Anson: 93/100
Vibrant plum colour, this is silky with sweet damson fruit, showing a real sense of personality and lift, beautifully measured progression through the palate, this has cocoa bean, liqourice, black tea, pomegranate, a ton of energy and concentration, well judged grilled oak. 3.6ph. 45% new oak, plus amhoras, foudfres, demui muids,15hl/h yield, so extremely low, making the skilful assembly of the wine even more impressive. Decoster family.
Lisa Perrotti-Brown - Wine Independent: 93-95/100
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 Fleur Cardinale bursts with bold notions of blackberry preserves and boysenberries followed by hints of star anise, black olives, and lilacs. The medium to full-bodied palate is filled with expressive black fruits and savory accents, framed by ripe, rounded tannins, finishing long and earthy.
