2017 Château Canon-La-Gaffelière, Grand Cru Classé St-Emilion

There's great purity to the fruit, with notes of violet and a hit of balsamic. It's nicely textured with good depth and length, with a little dryness on the finish.

Tasting notes

Very dark, black core. Lightly minty black fruit, suggesting ripeness, and a touch of oak char. Sweet and juicy on the palate, surprisingly light overall but harmonious and mouth-wateringly fresh.

This is really excellent for the vintage with wonderful density of fruit in terms of plum liqueur and creme de cassis. The palate’s plush but velvety with round tannins and a long finish. Should drink fabulously when young. So generous but silky and dialed-in.
