  Canon vs. Duffau-Lagarrosse 2009-2020 tasted blind (Fribourg): Medium garnet. Good lord. This suffered from premox the most. Completely oderdone. Strong nose of oxidative Maggi seasoning. I think they tried to do more than the vintage could deliver.

  Vertical of Canon vs Beasejour Duffau Lagarrosse (Fribourg): Vertical of Beausejour Duffau Lagarrosse vs Canon vs selected pirates 2005-2020. Main takeaways : i/ Canon trumps Beausejour overall, especially in more recent ones. ii/ Canon tends to be lighter-footed, more delicate while Beausejour is typically more extracted and ripe. iii/ St Emillion clearly struggles with the hotter vintages a few years on with 2005 the low-light, already exhibiting beef juice elements. iv/ best wines were Canon 2015 (95), 2019 and 2020 (94 each). Summary of wines and scores included in the tasting story.
  
  Tasting note:
  This is mostly beef juice, hard to discern anything else. With lots of goodwill and a highly particular taste maybe still drinkable.

  Now we’re talking. Decanted for 90 minutes. Drank next to a 2015 Outpost Howell Mountain Cab. These two wines were polar opposites. This wine is a classic, black fruit St Emilion. No ripeness, no Sweetness & just the way I like it.
  
  Lots of great flavor layers and extraction. Long lingering finish. This wine is far superior to many 2015 Vintage StE. Great depth of flavor with classic tar, chocolate, barnyard & earthy notes. The 15 Beasejour Becot get high scores but this wine is much better. It’s also better than 15 Villamaurine, Bellefont Belcier, Faugeres, Clos de L’Oratoire & Monbousquet.
