Monday, March 9, 2020 - Deep, red violet rim surrounds a black inner core. Ripe cherry-berry compote nose, A lot of dark fruits here. You name them, it's here. Very silky despite being full and sexy. Spicy and ripe, revealing much complexity, a lot of dimension at this early stage. Quiet the experience. The textures are exquisite. A lot of body, yet light on its feet. Great freshness too. This wine is made for the long haul. Take no prisoners. Epic. It's going to provide different experiences along the way. Would be nice to follow over the decades to come. Harvest dates: Sept 20th-October 5th 2018.
A tentative blend of 70-75% merlot, 25-30% cabernet franc. 70% new oak barrel. This is certified organic, bravo!
Certainly on the level of the 2009 and the great 2010. Parker rated the 2009 a perfect 100 points, and this could be better!
Tasted at Château Canon-la-Gaffelière 5/14/2019
