The 2010 Fleur Cardinale has been uncorked, and other ramblings....

Costco is sort of dumping 2019s like crazy these days...

Tried 2019 FC maybe 10 days ago. The guest had popped and poured (I would have given some air). It started out fairly decent on the nose and had some weight on the palate, but I felt didn’t have the legs to go the distance as time progressed. It was not like fell apart or something, but felt a bit thin and light. But definitely not over the top in terms of extraction, oak treatment or jammy for me. Bear in mind, my FC experience was also in conjunction with other wine, Los Pagodas, which we had them side by side.

I think 19 FC was 35 bucks, and for 5 bucks more I enjoyed 19 Pagodas more...

Surprised by the thin and light comments. I didnt get that at all. Who knows. Structure wise though, I could see it not being a 15-20 year wine.
