From Dave Becker's Wine Collection: 2010 Chateau Fleur Cardinale & 2010 Le Dome

The winner of this package will receive two wine bottles from Dave Becker's personal wine collection

2010 Chateau Fleur Cardinale/Wine Advocate rating 95

February 2013- Full-bodied in texture, it offers up loads of blueberry, blackberry, and raspberry fruit intermixed with some cedar, vanilla, and a touch of spring flowers. Impressively built, with good acidity and light tannin, this is a superb example of wine that reaches its prime in 3 or 4 years and lasts two decades. It's right up there with their brilliant 2005. From an estate owned by Dominique and Florence Decoster, this wine has been a real treasure to follow over the last decade.

2010 Le Dome/Wine Advocate rating 94-100

February 2013- A full-bodied wine, but ethereal in its elegance and finesse, the wine has a strikingly provocative bouquet of camphor, blueberry jam, violets, new saddle leather, white chocolate, and spice. Extremely full-bodied, but again, not showing any weighty fatigue or any type of aggressiveness, this wine has extraordinary purity and richness as well as a blockbuster finish of close to a minute, yet is so flawless, seamless, and compelling, it's hard to believe the wine is this concentrated and rich. It will be interesting to see how it evolves, but it certainly can be drunk in 3-4 years and, I'm sure, cellared for as long as 25-35 years from now.

March 2020- Deep garnet colored, it opens with notions of kirsch, baked raspberries, and mulberries with touches of oolong tea, cigar boxes, and dried herbs. Full-bodied, it has firm, chewy tannins and a lively line defining the evolving dried berries and earthy layers, finishing on a stewed tea note. Already mature, drink it over the next 15-18 years.
