Not the best Tour Canon I've had. Too much new oak and not enough ripe fruit to compensate. Toasted on the nose, with cherry and berry as well. Too much oak on the palate as well, making the wine unbalanced. Red fruit, good acidity, but nothing special. Not much tannins present. Finish OK, probably due to the dominating oak. Petit Annee - Grand Chateau, my mistake.
