Chateau Palais Cardinal, La Reserve Saint Emilion, 2014 Reorder whose family came over fromAn easygoing introduction to the Saint milion style, now with a decade of bottle age behind it. Chteau Palais Cardinal sits south of the village on gravel and sandy soils, and La Rserve is the fruitier, fresher, Merlot dominant cuve built for early enjoyment. The 2014 is a back vintage bottle that has settled into a soft, generous, ready to pour right bank red. No need to wait or decant for hours; just pull the cork and dig in.
