  Delicious. A little barnyard on the nose, and then a fully mature st emilion in its prime.

  2nd of 12, opened 2 hours, perfect cork and level, as bottle noted in detail in Feb, still adolescent, considerable upside, 20+ years. F+ (18).

  I actually enjoyed this more than the ‘00 Cos d’Estournel which was consumed just before it. It was more plush and open for business with a minimal decant. Heavy sediment so beware and decant slowly. You can definitely pick up on the right bank signature on this wine. Delicious!

  1st of 12, opened 45 minutes then decanted an hour, perfect cork and level - glossy ruby, little development on rim; plum, lightly spiced, earthy minerality, herbal hint, rich, classy and quite complex; med/full, long, reasonably persistent and concentrated, clean and quite glossy, balanced, attractive now but drive to fruit for significant upside, complex for St Emilion, only possible downside indicated by hint of green and herbal edge, 20+ years life ahead. F+ (18).......the market seems to have forgotten the long illustrious record of Canon which was making go to wines in the 60s, 70s and 80s when much St Emilion wasn't worth drinking!

  Quite an elegant wine. Tannins resolved with a nice touch of chocolate, blackberries and nice long aftertaste.
