Château Canon-la-Gaffelière

• April 2013

     I just posted almost all of my notes on Bordeaux 2012 on my ... my ... a double magnum, the Chateau Canon La Gaffeliere 1999 was not as good - it looks more evolved even though coming from a large format - while the Barton is fresher, more cedar like. Still, the Canon La Gaffeliere did convey pleasing richness.  One of the best lunches was... Read More

  If I were anywhere near New York on the 29th I'd be going to this event. Great wine, interesting winemakers, and lots of old posters, art nouveau or otherwise. Why is it I'd rather have one of them on my wall then a Flash banner ad from the Web?Price seems like more than a bargain, and the money goes to charity, too....   ... Here's your chance ...

  Château Canon Red Bordeaux Blend St. Émilion Grand Cru 2007

  Snoothrank:

  A bit Funky on the nose with a dusty character and dried wild cherry fruit accented with green tobacco notes. On entry this is rather soft, modestly endowed with a nice mineral soil tone up front then building gently layered complexity with notes of cherry, tobacco, and oak spice building across the palate. The backend shows better focus as the ... Read More

  Château Canon Saint Émilion Clos Canon 2nd Vin 2001

  Snoothrank:

It ticks the right boxes in quality stakes, but somehow it lacks a little imagination and cunning to make it a great wine.Good, very good, but not great. Read More
