The complex aromatics here pop with dried flowers, espresso, cigar wrapper, spice, brown sugar and an array of red with black fruits. The wine is elegant, refined, fresh, silky and fresh. The fruits are sweet, pure, refined and defined. In fact, this is so good, it would be a success in any vintage. But, in 2021, it is a screaming success and is clearly one of the wines of the vintage! Drink from 2026-2052.

UGCB SF Tasting Event (Metreon, San Francisco): Pourned next to the Canon, and it's obvious to see the winemaking kinship, even if it doesn't quite have the same level of stuffing. Lovely red-fruit aromatics, with supple red fruit and florals dancing around a mineral core. A bit of oak spice. Silky tannins with a touch of rasp and the overall effect is suave and sophisticated. 93

Serious, quite deep, sweet red fruit, floral aspect, rosy. Richly contoured in the mouth, yet the tannins creep in. Reasonably good finish.

UGC Bordeaux 2021, SF: Dried herb, not huge fruit. Subtle compared to some others of the vintage. Good, but not one of the better wines of the day.
