Canon vs. Duffau-Lagarrosse 2009-2020 tasted blind (Fribourg): Medium garnet, Precise palate, licorice, forest floor, very interesting aromatic profile, will need time in bottle though. Don't open not before 2030.

Vinous Icons of Bordeaux with Neal Martin (Legacy Records, New York City): Subtle and elegant. Very pretty. Superfine tannins. Red fruit with great energy and acidity. Very consistent in profile with the other 2016s tonight

Tasted blind. Decanted several hours. A beautifully elegant and fresh red cherry fruit, spicy with mineral layers. Limited intensity, but precise and detailed. Distinctly herbal with sage and oregano. Also marzipan and a touch of mint. Over time adding truffles and smoky notes whilst developing a more sexy raspberry fruit. Soft texture, dense with some weight to it. A great Canon, but can’t quite decide yet whether on a par with 2015 or 2018 in the more recent vintages.

My colleagues and I organized a mini Canon vertical to redefine the scores in relation to the fabulous 2022 vintage. We cannot put 100 points everywhere. 2021 not tasted. Naturally these notes correspond to an "M" moment and are likely to vary at another moment
1) 2020 100/100
2) 2019 -2022 (sample) 98-99/100
4) 2018-2016-2015 97-98/100
7) 2014 94/100
8) 2017 93/100
