Description

2017 Château Canon-la-Gaffelière, St Emilion, BordeauxComposed of 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2017 Canon la Gaffeliere contains a large part of second generation fruit because 65% of the crop was affected by frost. Deep garnet purple in color, it has pronounced crme de cassis, blueberry pie, red currants and red plums notes with touches of Chinese five spice, fragrant earth, tapenade and tobacco. The palate is medium bodied with nice firm tannins giving a sturdy frame

understated personality

then drink this powerhouse over the next 25+ years

Fruity undertones deliver a rich complexity

The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Le Clos was the first parcel that Duroché picked

the straight Barbaresco - which is a blend of many top sites - is as good or nearly as good as those wines

Some barrique ageing

It is a veritable fruit bowl of whisky

perfumed aromatics give the 2014 considerable early appeal

plus some minerals

2% alcohol and 212 gms residual sugar

the 2008 is deceptive in its first impression
