Château Canon-la-Gaffelière
Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend
After 32 years - still holding its own quite nicely. Fruits and tannins still doing their job.

Oct 10th, 2015I brought this wine to a byob Bordeaux tasting. The wine had a beautiful bouquet of still young plum and cassis. Surprising fruit and acidity, very well balanced with long silky finish. This wine was nowhere near mature and tasted like it could drink well for 15-20 years.

Oct 24th, 2018Really fun bottle and in surprisingly good shape. First time having an old right bank. Had it next to the 1996 Dominus, which would be my preference.

Jun 24th, 2018Maybe past its peak, but still a very enjoyable wine. Lots of forest floor, red fruit pie, hints of minerality, like crushed limestone soup. Nice acidic backbone, was better with food.

Mar 31st, 2015縁はレンガ色になりつつあるが、まだまだ濃いガーネット。黒い果実、プラム、下草、金木犀のブーケ。まだまだパワフルだが、時間と共に美しく花開く。メルローらしい優しさ。素晴らしい。
