    March 25, 2018 - 2012 Ch. Croix Cardinale
    En vin jeg skilte seg mye ut ved å være livligere enn mye annet 2012 da jeg smakte den på Bordeauxmessa. Plommer, kirsebær, pepper, tobakk, vanilke og litt paprika. Mye av det samme i munnen. Flott struktur og livlig syre. Det primære og livlige er mye svunnet og årgangens hulhet og alkoholpreg har dessverre tatt den litt igjen. Lar resten ligge i 5-10 år. 88-89.

    October 31, 2015 - Retailer tasting (@ O in H): Creamy red fruits in the bouquet. Same on the palate. Good acidity and supple round tannin. Still very youthful and in this stage not extremely interesting. 87+ for today.

    October 31, 2015 - Nicely made, no faults, balanced; the maximum for '12?

    May 15, 2015 - This Merlot dominated wine delivers a medium bodied blast of chocolate covered cherry, licorice and cocoa with soft, round textures in a forward style. This is already drinking well.
