April 13, 2024 - Very good, but not as spectacular as previous vintages. Had for wife's 40th birthday, along with a lineup of first growths and Napa cabs. Overshadowed by several others wines of the evening.

March 25, 2024 - 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:
Sweet and ripe yet fresh and sexy red berry fruit. Cooler mineral notes create tangible breadth to the aroma profile. A fresh fruit on the palate, great balance with seamlessly integrated tannin already today, only later in the finish feeling slightly grainy. Promising – especially as the fruit no longer came across as extracted as when freshly bottled in 2021.6 people found this helpful Comment -

January 16, 2024 - The 2019 is a blend of 74% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Franc. 14.5% ABV. From half-bottle. Decanted for two hours. Ripe red, blue, and black fruit, black currant, plum, ripe blueberry, ripe strawberry, ripe raspberry, espresso, smoke, spices, liquorice, coconut, and vanilla, with medium-minus acidity, light, fine, firm tannin, and very good length. Good structure and great concentration. Creamy texture. Light heat from the alcohol on the back-end. A modernistic interpretation of St. Émilion, and an outstanding wine. While accessible already, this young wine will need time to digest the generous oak. Drink from 2031+.

November 27, 2023 - Clearly too early to pass judgement (score should have a ?) but for me missing that freshness I have enjoyed in other 2019s - just a bit burly right now. A no- thanks for the cellar for now.
