Château de Candale (St. Émilion Grand Cru)
Medium- bodied, fresh, fruity, and floral, it takes only a sniff, and sip to find all the sweet, black raspberries, licorice, and cocoa on the mid-palate, and in the finish. This should offer a lot of charm on release, and for more than a decade after that. The wine blends 65% Merlot with 35% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2027-2038 90-92 Pts 314 Views Tasted Apr 29, 2025 |
